A comment on Americans Are a Lonely Lot, and Young People Bear the Heaviest Burden. Parent comment
I believe that view of things is an example of toxic masculinity. The person's father died. It's only human to show some emotion.
"In an ideal scenario, a man will step up and become truly useful during this time of trouble."
Saying that it has to be a man is part of the problem of toxic masculinity. Anyone can do this.
"Additionally, while deep and dangerous feelings, such as depression, should not be suppressed, many of the things you feel don't need to be shared."
They don't need to, but doing so doesn't hurt either.
"These feelings do no good for you or the people around you"
That can be a pretty toxic attitude toward feelings.
