That would be the opposite of emotional control. But surely you got the point that besides suppressing emotions men also tend to simply have less emotional needs or desires to express them. To bring this down to a real world meme-like example: my girlfriend can fill a solid hour every day discussing her work day and in particular developments in her dealings with colleagues. I struggle to fill a minute. I'm not suppressing anything, there's simply not much there as it comes to work. These are just differences, nothing wrong with it.
