I’m not sure when “emotional intelligence” became such a common criticism of men. Sometimes a man approaches a problem logically and looks for a solution, while his partner mainly wants emotional support or validation. That difference doesn’t automatically mean he lacks empathy or emotional intelligence. Of course, men can be emotionally unaware, just as women can. But do you think the term is sometimes used as a catch-all whenever a man communicates differently or doesn’t respond in the way expected? Has anyone used this criticism against you? Was it fair, or did it feel like a way of dismissing your perspective? submitted by /u/RedFlagAnalyst
