When men's support groups split over vulnerability versus traditional strength

Our men's group started as a way to support each other but it's becoming clear that some of us think being vulnerable and talking about feelings is essential while others think we're losing something important about traditional masculine strength. Every meeting feels like we're debating what we're even supposed to be doing here.
