As a child, I was constantly told that a boy wasn't a real boy if he cried or showed excessive emotion. It is considered good to cry if you are a girl because it helps release your emotions. This led to me crying about almost everything and my brother storing his anger in non-beneficial ways. It is commonly accepted in society that women are more emotional than men. Indeed, young children are influenced by stereotypes present in daily life and in forms such as films. One study showed that preschoolers always aligned anger with boys, and fear and sadness with girls. (Brody 370) By only allowing women to show their emotions, it gives a shadow of fragility to women that allows men to believe that they are. Society is told that women are supposed to be extremely emotional and should share their emotions with everyone around us. This is especially a positive thing for women, because then they can feel open and talk about their feelings and opinions without feeling judged. On the other hand, if men are taught not to show a lot of emotion, they begin to suppress their emotions and become more aggressive. One study showed that men who did not express their emotions were more likely to be violent than those who did express their emotions. (Brody, 388) Nowadays, there are men and women who show emotions or not, regardless of their gender. However, the majority of society is convinced by social media and influences around us that emotional inequality between the sexes should be considered more emotional than men. If women are seen as more emotional than men, women may be looked down upon in their careers. Indeed, managers will probably generally prefer an emotionally stable man who works for them, rather than a woman with whom they have to be careful speaking. Another problem that arises is that some women take advantage of the assumption that they are emotional and use it as an excuse to be rude. I believe that men being seen as unemotional people is also a negative concept. Men should be able to cry and show their emotions without being seen as weak. If men can't show their emotions, they end up becoming very angry and aggressive.
