Not exclusive to men, we all want to speak (which explains why this kind of silence is so unnatural...and so conspicuous). I suspect we all want to speak because we all want to be heard. And, we all want to be heard because we all want to be known.
...because we all question our worth and want others to validate it. Which takes us back to the first half of the story.
So, if even a decently accurate description of the 'way things are', the obvious thing to lean towards is the asking of what can be done about this. What is the answer to this 'unnatural and conspicuous' destination?
