Exactly. Society nowadays looks down upon showing emotion no matter the gender. Even I, as a female, could not show emotions a few years ago. But as the years have gone by I have realized that the stronger a person is, easier it is for them to show emotions like hurt, sadness, cry, and so on.
As a logical person, it is quite simple as well. What goes in, has to come out. So if we bottle up our emotions, sooner or later they will manifest. If it is unbearable you have a panic attack, meltdown or depression. Thus, just as we laugh and show happiness, we need to cry and balance our human nature.
