It seems to me that social consensus accepts expression of strong feelings by women, just not by men.
Traditionaly, women were thought inferior to men precisely because they were thought to have stronger feelings.
It is not thought wise to have anyone “emotional” in any position of importance.
But “emotional” is usually interpreted to mean that your feelings are easily swayed.
