Tiny boy cries. Big boy asks are you a girl?
What is it with the general assumption that men do not cry? This is the kind of third class, pathetic sexism that is still rooted to not any culture, but to the entire human kind. Crying is a way to express extremity of emotions, be it joy or sorrow. Why have we all been blessed with the gift, if only the feminine gender were meant to use it? We need to move away from such rubbish, and more importantly stop feeding it to our younger generation.
Crying is a way of releasing the bottled up emotions. I could point you a ton of research that has showed that crying is productive and character building. It is the moderator of the human body. But then some people are just too ignorant, adamant, or too rooted in the bias!
Are girls weaker by crying? What poison! Guys are the weak ones, not being brave enough to let the tear escape, cleaning you of your grief or immense joy. If one cannot even use the given bodily functions properly, what right does that person have to other worldly pleasures?
If this is one viewpoint. The other extreme should be that no one should cry. Crying is a sign of not being able to control one's weaknesses. If that were the case, there are still many women who are able to control their emotions, and not cry. The fact that girl's only cry, is a weak genrealisation, that has taken root over many centuries of male dominaiton.
Either way, what is wrong is the narrow belief of some, that crying is solely gender specific.
