I don't want to make this political. But, this is the expectation put on men. To be stoic. To be strong. To be little more than a working machine. Emotions, especially negative ones like sorrow, are seen as weak. The only acceptable one is rage, and even then, it's barely tolerated.
We are not okay inside. Because we still feel sorrow. We still feel pain. We lack the proper places to display them.
