I think the ancient Greeks recognized that crying is a part of human nature and those that tried to deny it were simply unaccepting of a natural part of themselves. I think society, not so much recently, has made up the image of a man being the big strong provider of the family who isn't afraid of anything. However, I think that many of the youth in our generation are disagreeing with this and see that it's okay for men to cry. The testosterone in men naturally makes them competitive with one another and I think some people just make fun of guys crying simply because that is their testosterone speaking. I also think that some refer to crying as feminine because I think women as a whole are sometimes more emotional than men, but not necessarily cry more than men. In fact it's quite the opposite. There are actually many women who are strong willed and try to set an example for other women to show the world that they are just as capable and fearless as many men pretend to be.
