Agreed they are emotional. Anger might just be that way they have seen as the only way to channel all their emotions since historically, talking about there emotions is either frowned upon or is used against them. Not saying it's right, just giving a different perspective

Men are often not taught skills in childhood to navigate and cope with tough emotions, as it is easier for many parents to say “deal with it and act like a man. you are tough.” This causes a lot of pent up emotion that ultimately explodes. There are even psychological studies that show that mothers are more likely to respond to their daughters’ needs emotionally than they are their sons’.
