Why are the feelings of guys worth so much less, or considered to exist so much less?

Guys's feelings are not concidered to be ''less''. Let's say that society has a big thing called ''toxic masculinity'' While people's emotions,sexualities and nervous systems are different, what people still see are gender norms - women-passive,overly nice,soft Men-big,tall,agressive, assholes. If you live in a country that hates lgbtq you may experience even more hate. One of the many reasons I was bullied was because ''I looked like a lesbian'' I just love loose clothes since they hide my breasts. When I wear ''hoey'' clothes,more tight, no one really insults me since I ''fit the norm''. However, guys ask for help a lot less than women, and they need it. We all sometimes need a psychologists in our lives.

Boys are taught from an early age that they should - not cry, not act like a girl, not be feminine. When they get around teen age, these same boys become toxic towards anyone who is a threat to their masculinity...even if that is a girl who is good at sports, they just have to destroy her to show who is dominant since they can't have competition. Feminine boys and masculine girls are mocked a lot where I live but I live in a country where there is huge stigma against mental health and lgbtq. If you go to a psychologist where I live, you should not tell anyone...unless you want people to laugh at you. There is this common saying that only ''bad''=Horribly mentally ill people go to a psychologist which is not correct.

Losing a loved one, going through a job loss or car crash can be traumatic and needs to be talked over. I personally think women get more sympathy since women over all are allowed to show their emotions, but I see if the same happens to men, the man's friends call him a ''pussy'' which is degrading and only causes anger in a man. Guys's emotions are important too but boys all of their life are raised to believe that they are ''less'' if they show emotions, which is how wife beaters,rapists and many more monsters are born. Emotions/feelings have a purpose and they don't really make you weak, of course a person would cry if their child or parent dies, that is normal. But boys are usually punished if they ever show emotions, which leads to numbness for some, and anger issues to others. I hope this answers your question
