Passive-aggressive?

I'm not sure it this is insightful or stupid, but it occured to me that we discourage emotional displays in boys, except for aggressive ones, which are encouraged.  And we do the exact opposite for girls.  Aggressive behavior in women is seen as really vulgar and unnatural, but we encourage other types of emotional display.

It's no wonder we are all fucked up.

Yeah, I think there's a lot to that.  In fact, you may have hit the nail on the head there.
