Societal observations indicate that women have historically managed six distinct forms of love, excluding self-love, while men have largely been restricted to expressing passionate love. This divergence in emotional expression is identified as a significant factor contributing to contemporary male loneliness.
Women have been carrying the weight of unpaid labor and stolen opportunities for generations, while men have been losing unearned advantages and struggling to adapt to a more equitable system.
Men who refuse to process their emotions often externalize their pain onto the women around them, resulting in domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of violence, while women are expected to manage the emotional lives of men and absorb the pain that men refuse to process themselves.
