You've gone too far the other way. Of course everyone should be allowed to cry. Everyone has feelings, and some people feel more strongly and are more sensitive than others. But why is it always that women seem to cry more and are more sensitive? It's just gender performance. There's nothing innate about whether boys or girls cry more before the age of about 5-7. Yet boys stop crying as much from the time they enter school (at least openly), while girls cry comparatively more.

I don't have any statistics to back this up, just a lifetime of living around men and other women in the United States. It seems to be the consensus on this thread that women do cry more, with the exception of one commenter who says it's the opposite in her country. Some are looking for a biological basis for this behavior. I don't know why on a gender critical forum folks are so defensive about their female right to crying, but that goes against everything we stand for here to say it's just "female brain".

I get that it's hard to be critical of a comforting behavior we all are raised to do (with the exception of one person), but crying a lot is gender performance. And it holds us back.
