l think that men of the past were just as emotional as the present but had the ability through adversity to deal with it in a quieter way.
l know after long talks with my grandfather about his experiences in WW2 that men of his era handled things with an inner fortitude that todays men do not seem to have.
the blubbering seen after sporting events for example by either winners or losers makes me cringe, and the inevitable tear by the retiring sportsman.
