why? because people are on the fence nowadays about spreading and believing bullshit, so people are more confused these days then ever.

Sorry about that but having no license as an 18 year old in college is stressful and trying to find an exam date and passing that fucking exam is so stressful
I ddin't get my license until I was 23. I didn't need it since there was no way I could have afforded a car

i dunno, considering both men and women have parts of their brains that are devoted to emotional regulation and at certain points in either gender's life that regulation gets disrupted and is something that pretty everyone goes through.
maybe my view is skewed since i've been exposed to manly women and womanly men and pretty much any trait can be pinned to either gender depending on the individual. why not just accept it as an individual trait considering your question doesn't address the fact that not all men are equal in emotional stability, just as it is with women?

Lately I've started to notice a lot more emotion in the men I've been spending time around, and it's not because they're showing it any more than they did before. I've definitely gotten better at recognizing it, though. 404's right about all genders having emotional instability represented at one point or another. It's all in how the person was trained to deal with emotion. Personally, I had a weird childhood and I kind of struggle with emotional connections, or putting emotion into words. My brother on the other hand has no issue with this. He's probably one of the more masculine people I know, and yet he expresses feelings like they were sports figures. They're usually angry feelings, admittedly.

Why is it called the closet? What reason was it that the term "in the closet" took root?

As I said before, it isn't that men have or show emotion. Example Frank Sinatra. He was great at showing emotion.
He just wasn't a whiny little cunt about it. That's what has changed. Just look at all the threads in here from males who can't face another day because some woman who was clearly never into them in the first place has been acting emotionally distant, and now, their whole world is crashing down because they can't face the fact that she was only with them until something better came along anyway.
Men have become codependent little cunts. Life hurts. Get over it. You're not a cunt because it hurts; you're a cunt because you refuse to face reality and just whine instead.
At some point men need to find self-worth exclusive of some woman's attention.

sprinkles said: why are men so emotional now? I swear to god they are so much more emotionally jacked up than women. They feel slighted over the dumbest shit. They get upset over imaginary stuff, it seems. Like something pops into their head out of thin air...or maybe something reminds them of something else that was unpleasant at some point. I dont know, but they are just weak and unstable. seems the world is turning upside down.
i should have been alive in the 50's when men were men and not ... whatever the hell they are now. they're so defective. I can't stand it.
LOL jesus christ I'd rather be alone the rest of my life than deal with this generation of emo fucktards. seriously.

I'm sincerely liking the unfocused anger in this thread. The fact of the matter is that the world is a fucked up place; It's more fucked up than it was a few decades ago, and we don't really know why, and all we can do is blame it on bullshit. I wish we understood the problem in a way that gave us power to fix it.
Maybe men don't want to be men anymore because it doesn't work and never really did work. Turning into a bunch of whiny bitches seems like a pretty immature bit of rebellion, but part of being a man is taking stupid risks when life sucks. I think there's some value in all this whining (I hate it too though) and in the tampering with people's identities and gender roles and such. For example, I'm glad I didn't get married out of highschool and that I can sleep around a bit without getting committed to a relationship. The last generation's whiny-bitching rebellious phase pretty much made that possible for me, and I've dodged what would otherwise be some serious life-altering fuck-ups as a result. Thanks for shirking some of your imposed responsibilities old guys. It's made my life better in some ways.
It sounds like you guys all want men to be more stoic again. Personally, I hate any kind of suffering, and I'm willing to compromise my manhood a bit if I can get rid of some of that suffering in a reasonably productive way. Stoicism has it's place for sure, but it shouldn't be used to permit unnecessary suffering. The really sad part about all this whiny bitching is that it's an act of desperation. If people knew how to stop suffering, then they could do something besides bitching about it. And that's what really makes all the whining so irritating. It a cry for help from the helpless, and that's almost entirely just frustration without a solution. It definitely feels contrary to the manly ideal of solving problems, but so what? We'll man up and do something about it eventually, mostly because we sure as hell aren't going to stop bitching about it anytime soon.

What gets me is the attitude that many males seem to have, that life owes them something better. The only thing life owes you is death.

Agreed. I'm glad we've decided to shirk the idea that life owes you taxes though. I always that that bit was a sham.
Lots of people, including girls, have this nasty sense of entitlement for some reason, and I also find it offensive and laughably inaccurate. I hear lots of people complain about that problem with younger people, so I'm guessing it's become a culture norm to some extent. There might even be some real research into the root of that problem. I might try to read up on it later.

Really well said sir
I agree that the reality of life is that there is like a base-line level of fucked-up thats almost impossible to negotiate in any way
You realize how fucking easy it was to be a 50's housewife? I mean, what a life. You have no real responsibilities, no real worries other than the ones you make up in your own head, and you've got oodles of free time. Men, on the other hand, had to go work grueling jobs they fucking hated, drink themselves to death just to deal with how shitty their jobs were, and have the weight of the world on their shoulders because they were the only breadwinners.
Conversely, women had nearly zero rights, they had no power over their own lives as their birthright was to be a baby factory, they could easily be victimized by abusive husbands and as long as he didn't leave obvious marks, and if a man had any name for himself in a town he could rape any woman who didn't have a name for herself (or, more accurately, her husband didn't have a name for himself). Men, on the other hand, had complete control over their destinies, could make a living wage with no education and no experience, and had an entire gender to dominate and have do their bidding.
I mean, whos to say where, why, and how feminism turned from fighting for equal wage, to having complete equality in all things, except men have to still be stoic breadwinners with big dicks and hearts just soft enough to love but not so soft that hes a wimp? Maybe the reason the system worked in the first place was that men were stoic partly because they constantly felt power over women. Will we reach some sort of equilibrium, where men are slightly more stoic then women but are allowed to feel, and women are slightly more emotional but are asked to contribute to a household equally? Is that even what anyone really wants?

I have this theory...
Old family saying, "squeal the pig, ruin the meat".. you have to kill it before it realizes what's happening. Now days animals are raised so shitty, you know their adrenaline gland is on overload. You ingest that shit, boom...a possible theory to this widespread anxiety thing.
Everything is out of balance, and it shows..
