Have you considered the difference between "hide emotions" and "repress emotions";
or on the flip-side.. "show emotions" and "accept emotions".
Personally, the "show emotions" should always be reasonable and proportional to to the current situation, whether you are a man or woman. Children being the exception, as they're still learning about all this stuff, and their rational minds do not fully develop until 25 years.

Little kids shouldn't have to deal with mommy or daddy's problems because it's traumatizing and damaging. Life is suffering. Spreading suffering by inflicting baggage on others is emotional BS. One can learn to cope and deal with things themselves in constructive ways. This is one aspect of maturity.
