I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that I do have a problem with crying. I do not have a problem with people showing emotion, be they man or woman; the person who cannot show emotion is either paranoid or recovering from such extensive trauma that they should be admitted Happydale Sanitarium. I have a problem with control. I have problem with the person who just has to wallow in their emotions and is just so absorbed with self pity that they cannot do anything. When I choke back my tears, I do not do it for your benefit, I do it for mine. I remain objective, rational. Those are the physiological effects of crying, many of parts of the brain stop functioning and "fight or flight" kicks in. Mabye it's just the things I do, but when I am pushed to the point of crying, I can't afford to, and I sometimes have to smack around the guy who is. When people cry they focus inward, on their own emotions; I do not care about these emotions, often I can respect them or try to emulate them; I just do not like to watch people who lose control.
