Does shedding of tears

Show a man’s human weakness

Emotional detachment

Dictated by our culture

    It really is sad. Though, do you think we’re slowly moving toward a change in that belief?

      I would like to think so, by the way your heroes post inspired me to write this, you raised some really good food for thought even though that was not likely your intention.

    I for one think that they need to stop telling little boys to stop crying – telling them they’re acting like girls. Crying is a healthy response, I think.

      Thank you Jen, I agree with you wholeheartedly, crying should not be treated differently from one gender to another.
