    I disagree. The Ancient Greeks and Romans were even more patriarchal than society has been in the past few hundred years and emotionality for men was the norm, not the exceptions. There’s tons of writings about men weeping over the death of a companion.

      I’m not sure why you think that cultural norms in ancient societies have anything to do with current cultural norms.
