Although I agree with summerqueen whole-heartedly, men are indeed capable of regular emotional snits (as I have several acquaintances that are far worse than many females I know), I actually think that men are far better at dealing with their emotions than women are. This of course is not a hard fast rule, as no such thing exists, but it seems to be the norm.
For example, if a man is emotionally upset (crying, yelling, sobbing, depressed) and you ask him what is wrong, often, he knows and is capable of telling you exactly what is wrong. In comparison, I have often times asked a woman what is bothering her and will often times get the answer with a sob, "I don't know," or "I'm not sure."
This regular occurrence tells me that although women are more emotional and more empathetic than men are, men seem to be better suited to dealing with the emotions they have. Another example of men being better suited to contemplate and understand their emotions is their uncanny ability to write music, poetry, love-songs, and the like. Many of the most beautiful and emotional moving pieces of art in this world have been and are still created by men. This would not be possible if men did not analyze and have some real understanding of the emotions they feel.
The truth is, I think the assignments of emotional baggage given to men and women are often wrong. Yes, the majority of women seem given to acting more emotionally to any given situation than a man might, but I don't for moment think that this is a universal law nor do I think that just because you're a man (or a woman) that you personally have an upper hand on how you deal with emotions or the gaslighting of those emotions.
