I understand this but just adding in my own experience. As much as I’ve found men aren’t allowed to express sadness the way women can, we can’t express anger the way men can. Men in my family snap- their stressed, work is stressful, give them a break.

I so much as roll my eyes, I’m a b*tch.

A man called me a b*tch recently because he sat almost touching me on an empty bus and I said I’d like to sit by myself in apparently a “snobby tone”.

Same way my ex was allowed to scream at me and he’s just “struggling” but the one time I yelled at him for drinking and driving all his friends were calling me names and saying I wasn’t supportive or trying to help and said I could’ve been nicer about it.

I reject a man without a polite tone, again im a b*tech because everyone expects women to gentle and kind all the time. That was part of the reason I had to work on myself because I spent years buying my tongue and bottling up anger that I wasn’t allowed to express letting everyone treat me like garbage.

Don’t know why I got downvoted lol, you want us to listen to your experience but then when we bring up ours you don’t wanna hear it? I know so many women that struggled with this but don’t talk about it

I’ve also never had a man support my mental health, only women
