Like most of your piece this is a ridiculous generalization. Some haven't, some have, and this may be a shocker to you, but men can pay a pretty stiff price for revealing their empathy and communication/relationship skills to people, and not just to other men. Another shocker; nobody alive today has been taught anything "for centuries". Some men have absorbed toxic male values, some women have absorbed toxic female values. We can all work to improve our culture, most of us, men and women and undeclared, have plenty to do working on our own shit;)
