Women literally cannot understand anything that isn’t directly tied to being a woman, which is why I think the whole idea of emotional intelligence and emotional maturity is often misused.
To them “emotional maturity” sounds like, “I don’t understand masculinity or what it entails, so you need to think and act more like a woman for me to understand you.”
That’s why you will see women encouraging men to be more vulnerable, emotional, and expressive….not just because it benefits the
man, but because it makes his behavior easier for them to interpret through a framework they already understand.
This is why when single women raise their sons, they encourage emotional habits more common in girls, which can lead to boys who are overly emotional or dependent…often called “mama’s boys.”
Men, on the other hand, usually understand both male and female expectations better, which is why fathers tend to guide their children more clearly.
This is why strong father-child relationships always shape kids in traditional ways: daddy’s girls grow into more feminine women, and father’s sons grow into more masculine men.
