Interesting thread! smile

cat04, do you have any examples of how we might emasculate men? Like in what context? Is it something you think happens a lot?

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is repressing feelings or not being in touch with them. H is like this to an extreme (he recently said he doesn't know his feelings or opinion on any topic), and a lot of my (female) friends have commented 'it's a guy thing'. It is stereotypical for guys to not talk about their feelings (IMO that's because they're socialised not to), is it really a guy thing to not know their feelings or opinions on any topics though? To what extent to most guy experience it? And do you think there's anything we women tend to do that exacerbates this? (I'd welcome responses from guys too actually!)
