Because of your screen name and my assumption that English is not your first language, my guess is that you could be surrounded by women who are in very traditional, submissive, meek roles. I know of very, very few American woman nowadays who cry over "everything."
Because it's blackmail. Never mind that you're in the right in a given argument. Crying is the ultimate weapon in an argument. It's unfair fighting.

None of these apply for all women. Speaking only for myself, I am one of those unfortunate women that will tear up at the simplest darn thing. Lord, I've even cried watching a darn cartoon! For the record, I HATE IT. I have little to no control over it. It's as if my emotional bell rings, and sends a flippin' signal to the tear ducts, and they begin the flow. I've said many time, I wish I could have my tear ducts surgically removed!!! I despise it when I tear up in conversations when I am trying to be serious...and the tears just ruin it. It's a serious struggle that takes every ounce of my emotions to try and halt the tears, and usually I simply have to walk away. Now that I think about it, I do think I've gotten a tad better at controlling it these days, but I really REALLY hate it.

Exactly. That's why I say it is hormones or if you prefer it's the way we are made. How can we cry at the :dumbest" things at it not be hormonal? Women, most, are just more sensitive.

"The way we are made" sounds better to me. I guess I associate "hormones" with the whole PMS thing...and I've never had a single day of PMS in my life. Never ever had that affliction. So maybe I'm not so bad off after all.
