It’s my impression that men and women are permitted somewhat different sets of emotions—men are freer to show anger, women are freer to show sadness. And that showing emotion is more permitted now than it was a few decades ago.
As far as I can tell, it’s possible to be emotional (or at least fairly emotional) and logical at the same time, so long as the emotion isn’t territorial attachment to an idea.

The different emotions permitted for different sexes could well be because of evolutionary reasons not just social reasons.
