As if this is somehow down to "patriarchy"? It takes two to tango! Denying the role of women in the shaping of someone's ability to handle and process emotion is really a disservice to anyone who wants equality between sexes. Blaming others is not the way to change.
I highly recommend reading the rest of the book. bell hooks acknowledges the roles that women play in inflicting the harms on boys and men. Reading that book was the most understood I had ever felt as a cis man who until then didn't really know what feminism was about.
