I have spent years in men's groups and have watched with interest the paradox where the men most interested in stoicism are already the most stoic and could most benefit from feeling deeply (especially grief). Meanwhile the guys least interested are the ones who could benefit from it the most as they get lost in reactivity. Western culture already pushes men to appear stoic but real stoicism has deep roots.
