Men are not socialized to be emotionally intelligent Period.
Think about that for a moment.
Our fathers, brothers, and any other significant male in our lives are for the most part - emotionally stunted. Why?
Does anyone really think that at birth - males are somehow born without a full array of emotional feeling receptors?
In our text, the author (Segal & Jaffe, 2008) makes no mention of male, female, or gender. It is my belief that this is on purpose. It is my belief that men have an additional burden to surmount in order to become "emotionally intelligent".
