Like men are able to get away with never expressing of requesting help with their feelings because women are trained from a very young age to observe men, watch for signs of emotional need and environmental stressors and deal with them without being asked. It’s why women worry constantly about emasculating the men in their lives but men never worry about “efeminating” the women in their lives.
Men are “stoic” only because they don’t have to communicate in order to get their emotional needs met.
I actually had a male partner tell me when we were breaking up that when he is upset he shuts down, and he needs someone to get him to open up and communicate and I didn’t do that.
Well maybe that isn’t my fucking responsibility. If you need your emotional needs met you need to communicate them, and not expect me to be ‘feminine’ and emotional for you.
