This is just insulting. Men are no less human than women.

How about an option in the poll for anytime they need to cry?

first of all, I like your nic & I agree with you & wish my hubby would cry. I dont think its good to not cry but thats how he was raised. I hope my boys are able to weep.

Hey Jesus wept when his family member passed away, even though Christ raised him from the dead.

Im with you on the same vote Christiankchk89

The most beautiful men I know have and are able to show emotion.They also have empathy, care.They dont all cry all the time (although some of them more) .To share that emotion with loved one also.

i vote all of the options except the last one...
Betsy you're the best.
I don't really understand the need to know when someone should cry, and even narrow it down to a gender. How about people should just express their emotions when they want to?

Sometimes its good to cry it helps bring out those deep hidden feelings. A man may keep inside and not wanting to show any emotions.

When a man runs out of option's, I have been told that a good cry helps clear the air, restores emotional well being, etc, so on and so forth.

Of course I have no practical experience in this area, this is all based upon second hand information.

Agree!!
If you need to cry, cry, that doesn't mean you are going to cry for a paper cut, that would be silly, even for a woman. Emotions are human, not just for women.

I think the best place for a man to weep is before God in prayer.

It is scientifically proven that real men don't have tear glands.

I think a man should be able to cry as often as a woman does, it's a total double standard and it annoys me.
