[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correct there are healthy ways to show and cope with anger or sadness.  
Complain/ talk about it, call out the wrong, ask to take a moment, go work out, leave the situation, circle back within a day or two and clear it up, come up with a plan to get over it or fix it.

And there are unhealthy ways. 
Yell and blame others, punch walls, destroy property, stonewall for days, drugs/ excessive alcohol, etc like OPs date does. [/quote]

Of course you can intellectualize it and and discuss it calmly but [b]the idea that actually expressing any emotion is unhealthy[/b] isn’t something I agree with.

As I said I am sure people posting have cried or raised their voices or ranted. I am sure people on here have felt and actually expressed emotion - and not just calmly discussed the emotion without any expression. Do I think he is an awful human for doing those things. No I don’t.

I think [b]the idea that expressing emotion is wrong in a man and there are no acceptable ways for a man to express emotion[/b] is what leads to people throwing things and punching walls. If there is no acceptable way to express negative emotion then no matter what he does is bad. [/quote]

No one said any of that here except you.

No one believes that.
 
What subculture in America believes and demonstrates that claim?

Where are YOU seeing this play out? Have you seen it first hand or is this some social/mass media theory you are applying to everyone? [/quote]
