I don't really have any opinion on this topic. I understand that society has created this stereotype that if you are a man and cry, you aren't "macho." I do think it's unfair that if a male were to shed a tear among his peers, he would be ridiculed. I don't think that if a boy were to cry, I would see him any differently than those who don't. I would probably assume that he's not afraid of his emotions and respect that he doesn't care what others think of how sentimental he is, but just because someone cries, doesn't mean that they have a heart made of stone. Some people express their feelings in different ways, some cry and some don't. But just because a man cries, doesn't mean he is less or more superior than his peers.
