This is a common trope spouted by feminists to try to gain male allies and seem empathic.
Well it's a flawed argument. Men don't work like women. It's not like men throughout history have been walking around on the verge of tears all the time but have held it in to seem manly. Men simply cry less, have less of a need to cry, and are less emotional in general.
The way men deal with emotional turmoil is to take action and process it through external means. This could be by playing football with friends, having a drink at the pub with your mates or taking a drive to think.
Also, the notion that men haven't been able to vent to eachother about their emotions is a myth, it's not like a man in the 50s couldn't entrust his friend with personal problems because "boys don't cry". Feminists underestimate the strength of male friendships and brotherhood.
Patriarchy was positive, because if both genders broke down and cried every five minutes, how could society function?
