Crying presets vulnerability that is looked down on.
See, if anything, this comment should be framed and labeled toxic masculinity.
In an effort to extend as much charity and empathy possible, what makes you say that? In my experience, it's not a hard and fast rule, the people who exploit those emotions are just shitty people. I've definitely felt that people were using my own sadness or other emotional vulnerabilities against me, and I've felt the opposite - love and support getting through those emotions. I tossed out the people who used me, and kept the ones around who supported me.
Edit: hahah, kinda foot in mouth here, I just realized you're the guy who posted about Medicare and jobs earlier, and I kinda mocked you here. Imma leave this post as it stands, because I think it's a good conversation starter. I'll try to do better moving forward!
I'm not sure what you mean.
The episode of Maury I saw, the guy found out he wasn't the father and started break dancing all over the stage, it was great.
