men & women
there is a myth in western society that women feel more then men.
let me bust this myth wide open.
if i were to hide the names of the people who come to see me, so that you didn’t know if the list of feelings belong to a man or a woman, you would be very hard pressed to be able to decide which gender those feelings belonged to.
it is a grave mistake too believe that men don’t feel hurt, jealousy, fear of rejection, not good enough, fear of poverty etc, etc.
the difference between men and women is not what they feel, but the manner in which each hide there feelings with emotions.
it’s acceptable for women to express their emotions in certain ways that are not acceptable for a man (in general), and vice versa.
if a woman cries to hide her real feelings, she will be comforted, whereas with a man who cries, more often than not he will be scorned. i’m sure the historical roots of this phenomena will most probably lead back to a survival need.
expression of feelings is much more rare than the expression of emotion.
