Speaking from the hormone point of view, estrogen causes WILD mood swings in women and therefore, women have to learn how to deal with the constant flux of their emotions all the time. Men also go through a cycle of higher and lower testosterone levels in a month like women do. However, testosterone causes more aggressive effects than the crying effects of estrogen. The fact is that men and women deal with completely opposite types of hormones that cause certain personality traits in each. Now, as far as the nurturing of young men to deal with these emotions, I have to agree with the original writer. Every family is going to be different on how the teach their kids, but I do believe that there should be some sort of formal education on the matter. The original writer is right in my opinion, life is nothing but creating and maintaining relationships; may that be friends, dating, family, etc. There should be something out there to teach children how to help this fact of life, instead of realizing years later that they have a problem in this area and then seeking psychiatric help. Just my two cents.
