It hit me the other day why men take emotional matters less intensely. It’s an evolutionary trait where they need to be steady despite troubling events.
Women can be scarred (as men can as well) by events that they experience. A well adjusted male warrior is able to internalize, learn and move on. You can’t get stuck in a holding pattern and let things affect you. The disassociation of the male brain is an evolutionary trait to keep a clear mind. And if women are unable to handle something and it crushes them, then they could bring down the whole village.
Weakness in a male being associated with ‘being a bitch’ is a problem, because if they were to be a chief or elder they need to be rocks. Keeping it together is a very important trait for a new masculine man.
Don’t lose your shit and keep your head up. Face the situation, deal with it, learn your lesson, move on.
