@futurebird if you allow me to add a bit of my experience 😊 growing up in Portugal (90s & 00s) as a thin geek male that had emotional issues is not "fun": people expected me to like football, to talk a lot about women, to watch sports games (nothing wrong with it but I don't like it), not be emotional, not care about people too much, etc. This does "wonders" to emotional development, and many of my peer males sadly ended up being depressed, anxious, jerks, or worse due to all these pressures.
