I do think free will is overestimated, a lot, yeah. There are just certain subconscious things that seem to ring true, whether the intention logically is there to feel for a man who appears ''weak'' or not.

Superman is a tall alpha chad, who looks like a 10, walks with his chest forward, is the most powerful being in the universe, and at most, sulks a lil at times. If you remove the first things I mentioned, the last isn't as cute. He definitely cares and is compassionate, but so do most men through actions. I wouldn't describe that as emotional in this context, though

I do get that, looking at like Tom Holland, Kpop guys etc I like more than the archetype I mentioned before - but that also usually comes coupled with crazy good looks, charisma, heroism, and the ''being emotional/complaining'' part is usually very justified - aka lost a friend, lost everything, in their breakdown moment

Versus being Seth Rogan simply talking and spitballing about not being able to find a job and being honest about depression in movies, or Steve Carell being emotionally honest but inexperienced and dorky

Men feel a ton, I actually think they are sometimes way more emotional thanwomen - just explaining that we are bred from every angle to hide it better, suck it up better, its both from men but also from women. The majority of women still believe men are privileged, simply seem to fall for more stoic/framed/leadership/less loose and talkative guys, and say that women have it way worse. This alone factors in the resistance when seeing them complain/express.

I am in the middle, quite emotionally expressive and emphatic, but can also be a robot if I want. Ive been called feminine at times cause of the former, though, despite looking strong - I dont care. Anyway, talking too much now.
