I will agree with you on many of your points re: boys shouldn't be made to act "more like women" but to control their emotions, etc.
On the other hand, they should *also* be taught not to internalize so much. My husband has high blood pressure and there is great evidence his is strictly stress related. He holds things in because "he's a man and shouldn't worry me with his problems", but it eats him up. Young men should be taught to talk to their partners instead of holding it inside. It can either cause health problems (as in my husband's case) or even be some of the cause of men "blowing up" at women and turning to violence.
I'll post up my views on what girls go through in a bit. Gotta go take of some things around the house first.
