Rather than post a wall of text, I guess I'll just say- yup, it does seem to be a woman's burden. Crying at work is unprofessional, and doing so can squander the opportunity to have the job you want. Work is stressful, and professionalism is the code of conduct that allows people to find the best solution despite the tension. The essence of professionalism is making the fewest possible demands of your peers to get a job done.

If we can transform socially so that people have no empathetic urge to help or care for someone who is emotionally distressed, then crying at work would be acceptable. But we'd also be a society of sociopaths.
