I think it depends on the type of feeling. I grew up with a mentally ill single mother who would regularly choke me, beat me, and gaslight me. In my experience sadness is a type of feeling highly discouraged in men, however there are other types of feeling encouraged. Power being the main one. I think to some extent it leads to a class of men in society who feel like traumatized children stuck in adult bodies, and to deal with the lack of empathy have actively desensitized themselves and oriented their goals towards power and domination. Personally I sometimes feel like I have two people in me - one which is a power hungry adult pseudo psychopath, and another which is an empathic and loving kid who is super confused and hurt.
