To add more detail to this, women are taught that they’re “emotional” and that their emotions are inherently a problem so they’re taught to internalize them, not in a “keep it to yourself” way but in a “You need to figure this out and stop making people feel bad” kind of way. Meanwhile men are taught that their emotions that are sometimes mocked are often best expressed through means of external factors such as a kind of grandiosity or addiction (ie becoming horrendously drunk when depressed or angry) and in response are told that their feelings matter.
