Sometimes it can feel like women are the caretakers of emotions–both of our own, and of the men with whom we’re romantically involved. While men are certainly becoming progressively more comfortable getting in touch with their feelings and behaving emotionally, it’s really only been considered hot when a man cries for…what…twenty years?
Let’s be honest; that’s not enough to undo centuries of the conditioning men underwent to stifle their emotions and see feelings as weaknesses. We still have a lot of work to do, which is probably why most women in heterosexual relationships end up teaching their men these emotional lessons.
