Why men don't cry

I have always been extraordinarily emotional for my sex. I used to cry when I got angry or upset. Every time I did this, I was thrashed and beaten by my peers (in big groups of course because they were cowards individually). It only ceased when I honed my emotions into a cold shell where only a few muscle twitches betray emotion. I can still cry, but it usually requires effort. Usually I get the dry tightness in the chest before I actually tear up.

If more women had this weeding process by the alpha women in grade school and middle school perhaps they could seem as emotionally cold as men.

But, why would we want to, though?

At work it would come in handy, no doubt, but other than that, if I need to cry, I cry. It's venting for me.

If I hadn't learned to save the tears for the car drive home, I'd have been vented right out the door at more than one job. We're supposed to feel passionately about nothing except the check.

2 points:
1) Tear ducts are necessary. Without them, your eyes
dry out and the lens can be damaged.

2) How is pointing out that Bush is incompetent
endangering US troops? Now bush being incompetent *does*
endanger US troops. What would have been their danger if
he'd not decided that Saddam had weapons of mass
destruction in the teeth of the evidence?
There would have been less danger if he'd have kept the
old rules about treatment of POWs. (And civilian
detainees.)

sher,
i agree with your thesis. in the US, for a top 'leader' or potential one, to cry, is unthinkable.

macho is in. compulsory.

and Americans don't even care if it's fake macho, read off the teleprompter, that's ok.

perhaps oren ishi-i would do.

the only thing nearly as fatal is being smart and/or well educated and showing it. or maybe dissing god.
