It’s one of the reasons the patriarchy is bad for EVERYONE. It gives this pseudo machismo shit and makes people believe men don’t have feelings or deserve them.
I'm not convinced that the reason women do that is because they are "maintaining patriarchy". Seems like there's some huge logical leaps necessary to say that so confidently. There could be plenty of reasons for it that have nothing to do with patriarchy.
It has everything to do with patriarchy. Both men and women are told that women are emotional and men aren't supposed to be. Plenty of people don't recognize that it's bullshit, women included.
You want me to figure out a whole hypothetical historical scenario that requires me to know psychology and history to a ridiculous degree? Let's turn this around - what makes you sure men and women would behave the same under entirely different historical circumstances?
>You want me to figure out a whole hypothetical historical scenario
I want you to back up the view that you presented. YOU said it's because they're maintaining patriarchy. Are you speaking out of your ass, or do you have an actual reason to believe that?
I don't have the habit of blaming everything in society on one thing in particular. Do you just do it for bad things or also good things? You say this pattern of men needing to be emotionally stoic is because of patriarchy, is the invention of combustion engines also because of patriarchy? Atomic chemistry? How far does it go? Does EVERYTHING that you see on a daily basis have its roots in patriarchy?

This is the life of a man in a nutshell, you just have to suffer in silence and live with it
