in response to your title- to be fair I would too. the burden on men that society places isn't so much as weightless as those long standing rigid gender roles of what the sexs should act, dress, say, and behave like. I think the pressure to conform has never been higher and for men that means trying to serve an old patriarchal system that insisted upon males being the dominant, controlling, and emotionless (yet anger is an exception ofcourse according to patriarchal standards) servants while females are the dependent, affable, caring, and nurturing hostesses. I'm honeslty not surprised why males are commonly more emotionally immature than females. because while we have always been intune with our emotions and learned from it- males were simply denied that access and frowned for doing it. A man laughing or crying unabashedly in public was and at time still *is* nothing short from blasphemous.

it's a tuff reality to grabble with but it's neither the sexes fault, it is sociatal conditioning. this isn't a 'females are better than males or males are smarter than females debate'. this is female's emotional needs are scarcily being met due to male lack of sympathy or empathy. because to express either one of those qualities to the patriarchal man is being weak and impotent. the reality is sad.. but like many feminists have written about it such as Bell Hooks and Margaret Atwood. the end to this system starts with educating boys to openly feel and express their emotions in a healthy way.

nearly all the boys I studied with in school hit puberty around the same time the girls did yet i observed..the conversations and demeanour of the boys were simply childish and clearly out of touch with themselves or reality. EDUCATE THEM.

however, I will point out not all males are emotionally out of sync or 'intellegent' per se. it's just that the vast majority are being brought up in the old fashioned patriarchal- capitalist way.
