Both sexs sre overly emotional
It's just that they are fundamentally different emotions that they allow to control them

Or you've been the angry girl who repeatedly got told, "you're so cute when you're mad," but whose bullies went silent once tears started to fall. Either way, the same emotions happen for all of us. It's just that as we grow up, boys are socially conditioned to respond with anger while girls are socially conditioned to respond with sadness, and we're each expected to suppress the opposite emotion.
This dichotomy is not fundamental to the sexes in the slightest.
The only thing fundamentally different about men's and women's emotions are how we've been conditioned to present them.
The idea that men have fundamentally different emotions is part of what fuels the male loneliness epidemic. Men are not any less in need of emotional support then women are, women are just socially conditioned from a young age that it is okay to give and receive it.
If you are a man, when was the last time you felt like you could talk about your feelings without being judged for it?
If a man wants to grieve, but is only taught that it is okay to show anger, then that is all that we will see no matter deeply in grief he may be. How one presents their emotions is not always how they feel, much like in autistic people.
