Is this really the big issue? It seems the current "model" of masculinity while recently undergoing heavy debate has historically been pretty consistent.
If it was a serious issue that men couldn't cry a few times a day it should have been an issue throughout history?

Hypothesis: Men have always been able to "take their frustration out" on women (sexually or otherwise). Now that women are becoming less tolerant of that dynamic, it's affecting men in unforeseen ways.
