Probably an unappealing take, but I believe two facts exist in opposition in modern society (specifically with respect to the male psyche):
1. Emotional intelligence, the therapy revolution, comfort with being vulnerable, etc. are generally positive forces for actualization of men - as social creatures. This is a good thing.
2. Cultivating rich emotional fluency has the directional effect of domesticating men. Of course this a generalization, and there are/will be exceptions. But, generally speaking, emotionally actualized and vulnerable men are less savage men. The question is, does society need savage men?
I would argue savage men in your populace aren't needed. Until they are. Every revolution in history has hinged on savage men. And if history teaches us anything, it is that revolution is ALWAYS coming. Eventually. This is the paradox I observe as we unconditionally push for more emotionally intelligent men.
...but idk tho đ¤ˇđžââď¸
