I'm not trying to say that men don't deny their feelings at times, just that the fact that they don't "open up" to others the way women do isn't by itself a sign that there's a problem.

Hi Ben,

That's a good observation, very good. You're a step ahead of me here.

Your point might help to explain why I found it so hard to be a 'new man' in my teaching career, because underneath I was just a man.

Cheers, M
