Puberty makes everyone emotional, regardless of gender. Women are not in constant puberty, and are not constantly overflowing with emotions.
And while some women may have strong support networks that allow them to be more openly emotional, that is not the baseline for all women and it never has been.
Men are not better at containing their emotions either, if they were violent crime and sexual harrassment would be much less of an issue.
This idea that if women aren't behaving like men about their problems, they must not be having problems- is a really short sighted one.
(All uses of 'men' and 'women' here are trans inclusive.)
