The strongest male/PERSON is the one who can show his/their weaker sides with no fear.

Precisely, man or woman! (Also children and animals, and the fuzz on my socks). Truly they cry when they get washed. the point is, why is it a sign of "weakness". What is it in todays society that thinks that. Is it really strength that makes one control their feelings,, or is it simply fear of how others might react.

It really comes down to just that: fear. If fear rules your mind, you are truly weak. Fear forces people into defensive or offensive mindsets, while eliminating logic. Fight-or-flight/hide. If you hide from your emotions, you are only half a person.

The major issue I see from this is that people need to be in touch with their own singular emotions before they can truly understand another person's. You get so many couples that don't even understand themselves... and then they wonder why they never communicate?? And then it passes on through the generations....

It's fucking sad.

Sensitive men are cute. A lot of women respect a man who can show his emotions when he needs to, when something is wrong or they've had a bad day ect. It only becomes "girly" if it's over done. When they get emotional over small things like their pants don't fit right anymore or someone called them a name, childish things like that annoy anyone. It takes a very strong man or woman to show when something bothers them now.

But, my pants dont fit right anymore *whines* Yes, there is a difference in being overly-emotional, and allowing yourself to show the feelings that one should. Such, as in this instance, to which I was referring, disappointment.

Indeed. Basically, why is showing one's emotions a weakness? Sure, there are times where we need to keep the "stiff upper lip." But, there are more times than not, that people don't know the proper emotional reaction to things, because they have been told it is weakness. It is disheartening. Emotions have no gender bias damnit!
