On traditional masculinity

Let us suppose that it has been established that men are traditionally culturally conditioned to repress their emotions in order to become 'masculine'.

Some social ramifications of male emotional repression need to be considered. The compulsory divorce from emotions, which turns babies into men, tends to lead to a hankering for the past (specifically for the mother), for emotionality and so on. In this way, (although this will be denied, due to repression), emotionality becomes idealized in the male mind as a possible cure-all. This is why traditional men will hanker after traditional women just as much as they yearn to recover their lost emotionality indirectly -- that is, via a relationship with a very emotional woman.

Arguably, there are other ways that traditional males might be able to find, to achieve emotional wholeness.

The right wing agenda of forcing women to become traditional is too costly for women, as this also forces them to divorce themselves from their intellects and from the characteristics that would make them more robust. To require that women fulfill a negative role, as people who exemplify only about one half of the full dimension of being human, simply isn't a healthy solution to the ongoing problem of male emotional repression.
