Recently watched a video of K. Michelle breathing her viewpoint on men crying. My initial thought is that it may stem from personal experiences or beliefs, possibly influenced by past trauma. She seems to suggest that a man crying makes her feel less protected, but acknowledges that it's acceptable for men to show emotion during times of grief.
In my view, if a relationship reaches a point where a man's emotional expression leads to conflict, it might be a sign that the relationship dynamics need reevaluation. Emotions are a natural part of being human and should be expressed and respected in relationships.
I know someone who struggled to empathize with women's emotions until we formed a close friendship. I confided in him during tough times. He eventually realized his emotional disconnect to women stemmed from his upbringing and environment, where toughness was valued over vulnerability.
Similarly, some women like myself struggle to be vulnerable due to past experiences, but it's a must to recognize that sometimes you have to be a listener and responder. Your response to others' emotions can greatly impact their well-being and the dynamics of your relationships.
Ultimately, having a circle of support where emotions are embraced can lead to greater connections. So many allow social norms to dictate their worldview. This is why the world lacks authenticity. Learn to be yourself and express yourself.
