    Please stop victimizing men. We couldn't care about petty little shit like this.
    If a guy wants to cry he can cry all he wants, no one will judge him.

    I don't exactly know why it's so hard for me to cry. It's either because of my high testosterone level or it's my social programming since I was a child or both. Either way, I don't care. It's not in my nature to cry.

    Male tears appear to include a sex drive suppressant that impacts women.

    As long as that's true men will learn not to cry.

    You have very good points, nice mytake, just recently, I started comforting my friend, some girl broke his heart and he was crying as if it's the end of the world. I hope he gets better someday :(

    You can't just cry about everything. Sometimes you need to man up and get on with the job at hand.
    It's no use crying like a little girl.

    This is also a cultural thing. Some cultures have men being the emotional ones and women being more stoic.

    Anyone who agrees is being a bitch. Real men only cry when a certain situation calls for it.

    I can't even remember the last time i cried
    Probably somebodies funeral

    "patriarchal society has instilled this belief into ALL males."

    Stopped reading after this, because it's wrong.

    Being less emotional by nature =/= suppressing our emotions. Men and women are different. Stop assuming the average female's emotional response as the healthy default for both sexes.

    I have noticed I am a lot better at not crying then women as a whole. I just don't feel comfortable letting that kind of emotion out unless I'm really, really down and on my own alone.

    I usually cry when I am alone. In public.. If it was extreme, like a terrorism attack or a brutal car accident, If I lost someone like a friend, family or SO.

    Men who cry are bitches.
    You can cry a few times every 5 years. Alone. Don't tell people.

      Uhh, I guess I would be considered "manly" with this sort of logic. I hate emotions, and I just don't show them because they're annoying. I don't want to be considered a woman if this emotional shit is tied to our stereotype, tbh.

    I don't think both genders should cry in public everyone should cry alone, it's not good to show your weakness , unless you really couldn't hold your tears
