Have you ever cried in front of others?

Honestly, I just don't cry. It's not that I buy into some bullshit about how I'm not supposed to do it, I just haven't felt the need to in decades.

Shit happens, and you can either wallow feeling sorry for yourself OR you can get up and get to work fixing it. At least that's how I look at it as applied to me.

I don't judge people that do cry in public, though. I'm just not built that way I guess.

Bottling up your emotions is definitely a bad idea, but feminists use the whole crying thing as a deliberate way to attack men generally. Even when men do show emotion and try to complain about something they have to go through in life or talk about their own real issues, who is always the first to mock and ridicule? It's feminists, even SJWs who are normally the first to hop on the hate train seem to be somewhat questioning themselves when they see major media outlets attacking single men who they regard as loners for example because clearly deep down they're realising how much this contributes to men not even being able to voice their opinion on anything anymore.

This is very interesting to me because it shows there might be doubt amongst their ranks finally. However the whole crying thing coming from feminists generally is just an excuse to try and make men vulnerable and then kick them while they're down because as we've seen whenever they try to openly talk about things like suicide and why it actually happens feminists will come along and censor them or intimidate them into silence especially if it involves women being unpleasant to them.

I always cite this particular event as a classic example of feminists, this isn't a small band of crazies or a minority as they would have you believe, this is a significant chunk of staff and alumni who went out of their way to sign a fucking letter stating that they do not believe men's issues are important and didn't want it discussed.

This is in writing, they did this proudly so it's pretty much undeniable except to somebody who is a fanatic and refuses to believe reality. I found a proper number and apparently it was something like 200 people who signed that letter, so that's 200 people who signed in writing that they think men's issues aren't even worth discussing.

For me crying is a personal thing, not something to share.

Any comments about those "Male Tears" mugs that seem to be such a gleeful way for feminists to show-off their wit?

I've teared up a few times but it was a response to a positive event and quite uncontrollable...in other words...tears of joy, except once when I was saying goodbye to someone forever.

Crying out of despair I have done in front of [former] intimate partners.

Yes, I've cried. Mobsters inc never fails to mashes men tear up.

I've also cried when I've lost beloved pets.

Movies and death... That's about it.

Yes, crying is human, however as a man I'd be ashamed to cry in front of others and therefore I only cry when i'm alone

Focusing on crying doesn't address the issues regarding the imposition of stoicism on men nor the double standard of calling for, then denigrating, "sensitive" men.

Yes i have, and who hasnt honestly? If people think you are weak just because you show your emotions, it shows how they really are
