There was a guy on Oprah the other day explaining how male children are brought up to be macho, not to be themselves. Shutting off one's feelings, as boys are taught, is not good. Of course so many adult men would deny this has happened because the training has worked so well. There is so much pressure on bys to not be tender, not to cry etc. Boys who do get lablled gay, or sissy, or a wimp orweak. So boys soon learn to bury that part of themselves. hence the trouble men have later.
