Let's see...my dad was a WW2 vet...one of the toughest men I ever knew...and yet, when word reached him that his mom had passed, he shed tears because he and his mom were very close...gonna call him a girl?

My dad passed in 2001...I held it together all the day of his funeral---then early the next morning, I found a quiet corner of his house, and I wept...no check that, I lost it, because he was my father, and he helped bring me into this world...my mom found me, and we cried together, her for the loss of a man she had loved almost forever, and me because there were a lot of things I didn't get a chance to say to him before he died, seeing as how he was in a coma...4 years later, my siblings and I got the call from the hospice that my mom had passed...

She had terminal cancer, and was in a lot of pain, and death was somewhat of a release for her...my sister was there, and we held each other and cried together...still thinking about calling me a girl, or saying that crying is for girls?...

I am 280 pounds of ex-US Army infantry...I fear practically nothing, and step aside for no one...and I'm sorry, but you can take that tough-guy horse**** and stick it, because every time in my life that I had occasion to shed tears, I didn't see some little guy with a geiger-counter walking behind me telling me I was dangerously close to 'girlhood' because I showed emotion---and if he had, I would have tried my best to render him unconscious...

I'd love for you to try and tell my sister, or my mother in law, or my wife, that crying is for girls, and I'm some kind of girly-man because I dare to show emotion in front of them...there isn't a clock fast enough to record how quick you'd get jacked up by them, trust me

A guy crying in front of you to me just shows that he trusts you enough to show his true emotions.

The most pathetic thing ever is women engaging in physical confrontation.
