It's interesting how a lot of people get VERY antsy when you make a blanket statement like "human beings experience emotions."

There are all these men that follow a version of stoicism where instead of feeling you try not to feel anything, because that's gay

That's not Stoicism, it's just idiocy.

It's the dumb guy version of stoicism. The kind that macho dudes love, but they conveniently ignore the parts about virtue and civil obligations.

A fun thing to do with those dudes is to get them talking about the Spartans (it's easy), and then bring up how they were enthusiastically homosexual, to say nothing of being the classical world's most notorious pederasts.

There are women who are afraid of being misjudged as a “weak woman” and there are men afraid of seeming ‘unmanly’ because it is so horrifying to be seen as unmanly. 😂 It boils down to misogyny.
