Men and women are different, but they don't have to be just in the ways that you're talking about. I'm incredibly emotional for my gf, even though I don't cry (that's just a psychological/physiological inhibition I need to eventually get over) and she is the same with me. We're very honest and needy of the other's support, and not in a bad way. We're both capable individuals, but the other person complements us so uniquely that we are able to break down our walls and expose what's really going on in our minds.
All of the above notwithstanding, she does have a negative reaction if she thinks I think of her as a mother figure - she wants to be my lover, not my mother. She has no problem supporting me at all, in any way. But she wants to be 100% clear that it is my SO, my lover, supporting me, NOT a mother figure. She said she doesn't ever wanna hear the words, "I'm sorry, but I think of you as more of a mother figure to me".
Like she'd ever have to worry about that xD
