    Generbait. I would argue society in general failed to socialize us in a way that allows us to live meaningful lives and have meaningful relationships and how to deal with the tough aspect of human relations. This problem exist across the entire spectrum of genders.

      … alright, but that’s exactly what’s being said.

      This problem exist across the entire spectrum of genders.

      While it’s true that being poorly socialized due to social expectations of gender is not exclusively a male problem, it is predominantly a male problem. The behaviors and traits encouraged and seen by society as feminine are often a kind of ‘oversocialization’ which makes sincerity difficult - by contrast, the behaviors and traits encouraged and seen by society as masculine encourage a more ‘undersocialized’ outcome in which both sincerity outside of aggression and empathetic behavior are difficult.
