It's amusing to see commentators misunderstand men and masculinity so badly. Men don't explicitly talk about their "feelings" - oh, it must mean that men don't know how to talk about their "feelings" or some bullshit.
Nothing shows how lacking in "empathy" the so-called "empathetic" sex is more than the feminist bullshit about men and feelings. Let's look a simple example that most men would probably understand, even if they haven't never thought about it in this way:
A bloke walks into a pub. Sits next to his mate. Mate ask, "Hey, how's it going?"
Bloke says, "Pretty shit really, boss is giving me hell at work. Can't do nothing right."
Mate replies, "Ah shit. That sucks. What are you going to do?"
"Nothing. Boss has always been a cunt. Nothing new, eh? Want another drink?" bloke says, laughing.
Feminists would say: Oh no! Look at these stoic men not talking about their feelings! They should talk about their feelings!
Reality: Bloke had a shit day and has communicated his feelings perfectly well to his mate. Mate checked in if he's coping alright. Bloke says it's nothing new and indicates it's nothing he can't tell handle. The two men used their empathy to exchange emotional content without explicitly talking about their feelings.
The reality is men are good at communicating their feelings. But they don't make a song and dance of it. Instead they do it by reading between the lines from each other's body language and words. That's empathy. Not the bullshit sold by feminists that apparently women are better at then men. In reality, if women (and male feminists) actually need to explicitly talk about their feelings, it must mean they suck at empathy.
There's more that as well - men insult their friends to toughen each other up. If a man is used to getting shit from his friends, he'll have much thicker skin and not be easily taunted and lose his cool when his enemies taunt him.
How and why men josh each other has a lot of interesting sides to it. Sometimes it's used as a form of encouragement, other times to indicate respect in spite of quirks and idiosyncrasies.
Not that this is necessarily specific to men, but men don't typically get as bent out of shape as women might.

Something something men talk shoulder to shoulder, not face to face.
