why emotional suppression keeps men stuck + who profits from it

they sell it to men as strength.

a clean sentence. a sharp edge. a lie that feels good going down.

“you only cry once.”

after that, something in you dies.

and that’s supposedly how you become a man.

if that were true, we’d be surrounded by evolved men.

instead, we’re surrounded by numb ones.

this piece is about the quiet damage of that lie.

who profits from it.

why it spreads.

and what actually happens when grief is rushed, amputated, or buried alive instead of metabolized.

before we go further — this theme runs directly through the most recent episode of the cuffed podcast.

if you want the spoken version — the tone, the pauses, the weight behind it — listen there first.

audio lets this land differently.

listen to the podcast before you read.

then come back.
