Boys Don’t Cry
Boys Don’t Cry – Telling boys that they “cry like a girl” can be harmful to their mental health in later life because it means they lose touch with their feelings. As little boys begin to construct the identities of grown men, the toughest lesson to learn is toughness itself. Never show weakness, never show fragility and above all, never let them see your tears. I learned that tears and sobs were markers of failure, but hell yeah, I have tear ducts.

Not only is it awful, it’s also harmful to girls because it’s once again believing that whatever girls do is “less than”. As though being a girl or being like a girl is somehow a bad thing.

It sucks to compare a man or boy to a woman or girl as a putdown. In contrast, I was very happy when Nick Offerman participated in a Women's March, wore a Pussy hat, then posted the pic under the caption "I'm a nasty girl". My husband occasionally has the tear ducts running during movies. And I do like the end of this article: "hell yeah, I have tear ducts".
