  • At the end of the day this is anecdotal too of course but I will say that there are a lot of historical documents like diaries and letters that somewhat support this claim. I’ve seen some where fathers mourned their children but many also just wrote something like “Youngest died from a fever. Was weak from the get-go so whatever.” (I’m paraphrasing) which is something that I’ve never seen in a document written by a woman. I don’t think that this has anything to do with men being inherently less emotional rather than arbitrary gender roles but still.
