“So is yelling.”
Men don’t usually have great “emotional coping mechanisms”. We’ve got 3 basic ways to express our emotions: yell, hit/break stuff, or get drunk (because then we can cry when we are drunk and still think ourselves manly). Maybe some more “evolved” types can learn to paint a picture or play the bongos, but those 3 are usually what we start out with.
So, since yelling is usually the least destructive of the three, to a guy can actually seem like it is “good behavior”. If a guy can’t yell, and he won’t do one of the other 2, or find some other outlet, then he’s just going to bottle it all up and then he’ll end up in crazytown. So, think of it as “therapy”.
By that measuring stick, so is crying.
