-"men are afraid to open to women, I know that for me it has never lead to greater intimacy, it has always lead to greater evaluation and criticism"

-"well, men are just afraid to open up, because work has made them afraid of being judged, and men are afraid of emotions. They are always told to suck it up."

Well, fuck you Mr Psychologist. Being judged and criticized by your intimate partner is hurtful. If men don't want to have that happen to them, that's not being afraid of emotions, that's just being reasonable in assessing with whom you can safely share them. And by telling men that they shouldn't be afraid of opening up, you are actually telling them to suck it up, and take the hurt women heap on them when they do. I mean, all you had to do is listen to the man who just told you "every time i open up, women hurt me", and realize that the right answer wasn't "you are just afraid of emotions".

This video makes me wonder what that guy is doing on a men's channel.
