I can only speak from personal experience. I am a person that gets emotional very easily: it is very easy to get me to cry, laugh, etc. and it frequently happens for very subtle events that another person may not even notice.

After 12 years of being bullied in school I learned to be terrified of my own emotions and fought continually to not have them. I wished very much to be able to be Spock from Star Trek, without actually recognizing he was going through the same internal battle with himself as I was. I spent over 30 years avoiding situations that might trigger emotions, feeling that it was unsafe to be emotional around people, hiding in work, failing to totally stop experiencing emotions and feeling guilty that I couldn't, etc.

Finally a special event freed me from that self imposed torture, but I still have aftereffects and I will never really have what most people would call a "normal human life". Not that I regret the life I do have, but often I wish I had had open to me some of the choices and options that the effects of the bullying took from me.

A man can be hurt emotionally in the same ways that a woman can. If you lie to him, cheat on him, or disrespect him, he will likely be hurt emotionally.
