How are men supposed to express their emotions if it turns women off or they try to shut the man down by shaming him?

They tell us to open up but then attack us for venting our frustrations, tell us our problems are insignificant, be dismissive by saying go to therapy, etc.

As it relates to men expressing their emotions and being punished comes with a hard truth. Respect is earned and Truth is the woman, "wants us to carry the load and not be part of the load". the man you are describing is a load bearing guy who has no clue about how men, women, and life as a whole functions.

Once you can prove that you can provide for yourself independently and are a decent person then she will validate you with Respect... and you will not have to deal with the self-imposed shame and guilt.

Truth is the woman? Woman choose crackhead chad over good men

Women tell men to express their emotions because they think that's what they are supposed to say. But women don't actually want men to express emotions. Cry in front of a woman you are dating and you'll doom the relationship to failure.

Telling someone to go to therapy isn't dismissive really but as for the rest of it, it just shows an emotionally immature woman. Men should be able to vent and show emotions.

I totally agree that men should be able to do that.

We should be vulnerable once intimacy and security have been offered to us

They're not. Most women really don't not care about a man's feelings. ONLY his feelings as it pertains to her is relevant to a woman.
