Emotions

Men have long perpetuated the myth that women are more emotional than men.
This is actually entirely untrue: men are culturally conditioned to suppress their emotions and to detach themselves from feeling.
Which is not entirely helpful.

A woman may admit that she feels fear, whereas a man pretends to be brave.
Taoism and zen seek to cultivate emotional awareness, and asks the student to be honest about how they feel.
