That's interesting. So you are basically saying anger is the only socially accepted way of expressing these suppressed emotions?

Thats's definitely not what I'm saying. I'm saying I was badly punished because a particular person misperceived me as being angry.

I think this line that anger is an acceptable emotion for men to express is out of line with reality; it's certainly out of line with my lived experience. Anger expressed by men is punished, sometimes exorbitantly.
