Garbage.Maybe it's not necessarily cyclical and skitzo (or only appears so on the surface), maybe it could be that us men are raised to bottle up our emotions and feelings and the only acceptable sort of emotion we can express publicly without being seen as "effeminate" is annoyance, hornyness and smugness (I mean fuck, look at how smug my and Whale's pfps look!). Excitement, happiness, sadness, disgust, etc. are only permissible to be publicly displayed under certain circumstances, which for some... may not arise for an extended period of time, particularly negative emotions, which can lead to situations where men either start snapping emotionally in private, use substances like alcohol as a coping mechanism, or just become depressed (explaining the high suicide rates compared to the female sex).
I can think of exactly one man I have ever known who truly (mostly) experiences this throttling of emotion, and even he isn't hateful of women specifically (he kind of hates most people in general). He is also mid/late 40s, has killed-or-be-killed in war (and I don't mean games, but I do mean killed), and was dreadfully abused as a child (by his mother, mind you; dad, of course, was nowhere to be found).
The other 99.999% of men I've known in my half-century on earth, in every context, have no problem tearing up, jumping for joy, etc.
And even that guy I mentioned has choked up talking about certain things with me. I will also add that that guy, who hates every fucking thing and is as classic old-skool and alpha as it comes, would and has beat the tar out of
Well, correction: he'd kill anyone who threatened or physically harmed his kids...or probably anyone else, if he were there to see it. And yet as emotionally arrested as he is, he has no use for expressions of smugness or horniness. Earnest to the nth degree, even if a simmering volcano just looking for an excuse.
Tl; dr: This is a bullshit, lazy, made-up effort at an excuse to be a pos.
And if you think women feel no societal pressure to keep their shit together, to temper their emotions, and to endure hardship and unfairness without breaking down or buckling under, you are absolutely deluded and 180 degrees wrong.
Get tf off discord.spiraling until you start crying or randomly talk with your close friends in discord VC at midnight or fall asleep?
But fr: everything in the paragraph before what I just snipped is you (the theoretical you, I guess) just getting twisted up in your own poor-me. Save your deep thoughts for things that really matter: learn shit, do shit. Stop mentally circling your navel and you'll stop mentally circling the drain.
