Course idk if Bitchute takes any cut on ad revenue on their platform

So could still be just Google and CC

I've been thinking

You know there's all this talk about boys being told to repress their emotions

And how they shouldn't cry and be sentimental

I thought so too

But, I think I was wrong

Men aren't told to hide and repress their emotions, they're told to channel it

Always have to be careful about extremes

Feed off their emotions to become better

It's not that they're not crying because they aren't allowed to

They simply use channel that emotion, do something else with it

Actualy work with it

That's what I've learned from being around my guy-friends

Am I wrong?

I would agree with that assessment, yeah

Trying to think of specific examples

I can give an anecdote that inspired this recently

I always think the same thing whenever I hear that men aren't allowed to have emotions. I know I was never told that growing up and never even heard that from anyone else.

well, I can only speak for myself but you aren't wrong.. not always..sometimes it's too much to just 'channel' it

I'd say this isn't just a 'male' thing. It's a traditional masculine trait, but it the kind of thing that would be good to be mastered by everyone.

but yeah I was never told I can't cry or what

I have a friend, her name's joanna

She was dumped a month ago

She'd spend hours crying

Even tried cutting herself

She eventually resumed smoking

Now I have another friend, he was dumped a week ago

I think you're partly right in that sometimes that's the case, but men are also just plain expected to be stoic, told to toughen up, not be a baby, etc

He started spending hours in the gym

He started powerlifting

that is true so in a sense it is implied

Sometimes he'd talk to me

what Schedrevka said

I know he's sad

But he actually works through it

But if it's only ever implied to 'toughen up to use that as fuel to better yourself' and never outright stated then people won't know why it is they're expected to toughen up.

Yea

So I think originally yeah it wasn't just expected of men for no reason, but expected of men because others depended on them to be tough

But those lessons get forgotten over time as they're taken for granted

well..who wants to have fee fees talk, am I right bois
