It's not even a feminist issue, it's just your misogynistic attitude and way of thinking in general but I'm not even going to get into it with you about this.

I wouldn't say it is cool as in "hip" for guys to cry, but it is a natural thing, which should have nothing wrong with it.

I've seen some dudes cry and I've seen chicks cry. Both are sad. The only difference is it felt like the guy had sort of tried NOT to cry for a really long time and it made more generally heartbreaking.

I didn't think he was a pussy, though. And I don't think women are weak, either. I just think women are more generally emotional (some) and some guys just don't give a flying **** whether they're looked to as strong or not. Like who cares, it's just crying man.

So why exactly should I expect a woman to be weak and a man to be strong?

Is it cool for a guy to cry? No. Is it cool for a girl to cry? No. Is it a normal, human reaction to certain situations regardless of sex? Yes.

Oh but you would say that. Just wait until you get married and your big, strong rock of a husband who has to be there for the little woman, through all of her hysterical crying, shrieking and giggling that presumably only comes naturally from being the emotionally weaker sex.

its like the saying hope for the best but expect the worst

i think guys should expect that a woman will be emotionally weak in times of turmoil so it forces you to be strong. i think women are more emotionally fragiile jus tin general and i dont consider that an insult, just reality that ive experienced

just reality that you have experienced.

that's the key words

I've experienced strong women thoughout my entire life especially on my mother's side of the family and they are strong emotionally just as men are.

You are taking your experience and trying to paint a huge brush across all women.

nobody here has interacted with everyone on earth or even close to it. we all do that to a certain extent. my mindset isnt to bash women or paint them as weak, its more to have the mindset that men need to be ready to step up to the plate and be strong when they have to. ive seen that mentality work many times. and i DO think men are supposed to be protectors of the family
