Um, is it really necessary to keep it private? What if the thingy happened in a public place? You’ll run and look for a private place and dun mo ibuhos ang iyak mo. Eh di para mo paring kinakahiya na umi.iyak ka?

Think logically, it is still the same.

But I agree that crying doesn’t define who you are. Nice point.

Crying doesn’t define who you are. It only proves how much that issue/subject means to you.

Boys can/should/needs to cry sometimes…just keep it private. haha..

Good points Patricio!

I think that men should express their emotions too. But of course, this should be done in a “manly” way.

On my own perspective, I actually see those “boys don’t cry” thingies as non-sensical. No offense meant for those who voted for boys should not cry.

There’s not much difference actually between boys and girls. The one clearly visible is the anatomical features of both sexes, that is their external apperance.

Boys dont cry is so the dictum of the men of yesteryears. Where it is not accepted in the society that men would cry as that would eradicate their masculinity features daw.

Boys should CRY! As that would only be their outlet to express their emotions, and never be ashamed of crying. If crying is the way to release the tension deep within you, then cry.

According to research, more men die because of deep problems. Problems that are stored and piled up in their hearts because of their reluctance to express it. Do you want to die early? Nobody does, right?

But warning though. Express it in a way that you woulnd’t put anybody’s life into harm.

That’s it.

P.S.: Interesting topic, Chris. It actually made me think to post an article relating to it on my blog tuloy. Ahehe.
