Men are by farthe more emotional and hysterical gender
Summary
Men are by far the more emotional and hysterical gender, a male rider tells Kareem, and both men quickly agree. The conversation turns into a surprisingly earnest discussion about male emotional processing, with the rider arguing that men handle emotions "much more poorly" than women. While women express and move through feelings, men punch walls and can't feel sadness without it morphing into anger. He advocates for therapy and talking to other men about feelings. Kareem suggests maybe having a sleepover with your boys. The rider's response takes an unexpected turn involving quiet time after you "watch the movie and jerk off together," which is apparently why he's not crazy about houseguests. They're eventually kicked off the train, giving them a chance to practice what they preach about frustration versus sadness.

So, what's your take? Men are by far the more emotional and hysterical gender. 100% agree. 100% agree. Yeah.
No, men are always enraged. Yeah. I think everyone experiences emotions and the emotional triggers, but men emotions much more poorly, you know, and I think that historically people would say like, "Oh, women are more emotional 'cause they're expressing their emotions and crying or whatever, right?" But they're getting past it. They're processing it in a healthy way. We do not do that.
No. No, we don't. We punch walls, punch doors, punch each other. Yeah. When we're sad, we're angry, and we're like, as a man, what is the worst emotion that you feel?
Sadness. Because it's really hard to actually like feel it without just getting angry, you know, and being like, "Oh, like I'm stupid for being sad," you know what I mean? And then like, you know, it's up that men have essentially set up society.
That's a big bad thing. That's a big bad thing because look at where we're at today, right? We're not in a good place. And I think it's mostly because a lot of men with power are driven by their anger.
It's okay. It's going to—it's going to turn around, right? Or do I have to get off? Oh, sorry ladies. I'm so sorry. Thank you. I mean, I'm a little bit pissed off that we got kicked off the train.
But you're really sad that we got kicked off the train. No, I'm frustrated.
But frustration is a two-prong thing. And you're more in touch with the angry part of yourself. So when you get frustrated, you're sad for a second, but then you blow right past it and you're like, "You Abdullah, you dis."
How do you think men should cope? Men should go to therapy first of all, right?
100% disagree. Men should exercise.
100% disagree. And men should talk to other men about their feelings.
100% agree. Maybe have a sleepover with your boys. No, you lost me. I, I, I really need that last couple hours at the end of the night for me, you know, after you watch the movie and jerk off together, then then you have quiet time, right? This is why I'm not crazy about house guests, you know what I mean?
