False! Men are emotional; we've just been taught from adolescence that being emotional is synonymous with weakness, and that weakness is a quality no man should be associated with.
Through learning to care for others, playing with dolls, and other things typically associated with a female adolescence, women have been taught just the opposite, and are encouraged to share how they feel. Men, on the other hand, play with action figures and video games that perpetuate violence and encourage toughness. Thus, we usually get angry and/or violent when emotional.
Thankfully, gender norms are being challenged, and hopefully the expression of emotion will become less mutually exclusive among genders.
