I am wondering what you think about this. I don't want to sound insensitive because I think I suffer from some sort of depression, and during my PMS my crying urges intensify. However, I have an issue with my brother. Oftentimes when I want to talk to him, he often starts crying and gives the other person (e.g. my dad) the benefit of the doubt over me. He feels sorry for my dad because the latter is old but my dad and I bitch a lot. I have resigned myself to not talking to my brother about something unless it is absolutely necessary.
My brother's pusillanimous behavior perturbs me. On the one hand, men who have no feelings or compassion are utterly revolting. On the other hand, men who always cry or sound like they're about to, drive me up a wall. I struggle with crying urges often and I don't want to be insensitive to someone else's emotions, but what do the ladies of FDS feel about this sort of thing in men?
It's great when men can show and manage emotions effectively. Most of the time, however, their emotions are weaponized. Males are much more manipulative than women and girls, and it's been proven that males often use tears to manipulate others. That's why they accuse us of being manipulative when we cry, even though women and girls rarely do this compared to males.
