Robert Webb grew up learning rules like 'men don't cry' and 'men don't show emotion', and has examined the damage that can result in his book, How Not To Be A Boy.

He explains: “It felt to me [at school] that boys were specifically trained to bottle their emotions up and shrug them off. Some of those rules for being a boy, and indeed for being a man, get in our way and then we end up getting in everybody else’s way.

"If you don’t take responsibility for your feelings, your feelings become your sister’s problem, your mum’s problem, your wife’s problem, even your daughter’s problem.”
