I haven't seen either "Inside Out" movie -- tbh, Pixar movies kind of annoy me -- but I was interested in these reflections by Ruth Whippman, author of "Boy Mom": https://ruthwhippman.substack.com/p/male-emotions-are-a-joke

Quick scan and yes, 100%! Interestingly my son was totally uninterested in going with us. He's older than my daughter, so maybe that's partly why, but still. Telling that it didn't appeal to him much. Hadn't really considered it from this angle beyond that (also been wanting to read Whippman's book since hearing her on Forum a month or so ago - really enjoyed that interview: https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101905968/how-to-raise-sons-in-the-age-of-impossible-masculinity )
