The only kind of women who tend to hide what they're feeling are ones who are doing it to be manipulative, deceptive, or to conform to fluttery feminine stereotypes.

Heh. Many of the women I know--myself included--make a sort of cottage industry out of hiding their insecurities. *g* if you knew me, you would never believe I'm painfully shy, because I overcompensate like a mad thing.

I suspect generalities.
