Is it okay for boys to cry?

Before you look away and think this is stupid, I know it may seem that way, and it probably is, but I just need someone else's view on this. I'm a 15 year old boy and I used to never cry about anything. Everyone around me also said it was a wimpy thing to do so I was discouraged from it. All that was before I met my girlfriend 7 months ago. Everything was great for those months and just this night, we had a fight. It was a bad one. It got ugly. We're immature kids and we're still growing and learning so of course this stuff is bound to happen and I knew that well getting into it so it really is my fault. But the fight led me to cry. Legitimately cry, too. Not just a few tears. I felt so pathetic for it too. I feel vulnerable and weak. Am I weak for having this reaction? Is this normal? I've never cried about anything before in my life except for pain related things when I was little. Is what my father would normally say right here and I am just being a wimp?
