“We’ve dismissed men as the feeling-less gender — we’ve given up on them. Because of the way boys are socialized, their ability to deal with emotions has been systematically undermined. Men are taught, point-by-point, not to feel, not to cry, and not to find words to express themselves.” — Daphne Rose Kingma, in The Men We Never Knew
