Part 4/6:
The conversation further delves into the broader cultural expectations of emotional expression based on gender roles. It is pointed out that girls and women are socially permitted, or even encouraged, to exhibit passionate reactions, such as screaming at concerts or cheering loudly for celebrities. These behaviors are seen as part of female nature—an expression of exuberance that is generally accepted.
In contrast, when men display comparable emotions—screaming, fangirling, or overly enthusiastic reactions—they are often viewed as lacking self-control or being socially inappropriate. Such reactions are described as "weird" or "repulsive," reflecting societal discomfort with male vulnerability or emotional spontaneity.
