Um, anyone who thinks that men are emotionally stronger by virtue of their gender is delusional. We are conditioned to show emotion differently. If one does not feel emotions, then they probably have been conditioned to turn them off, stuff them down deep and to become bitter.
There is something precious about a man's tear. For those who rarely display them, they are a sign of a connection that runs deep and when it is displayed, it is a moment in time that is sacred. Like many women, my tears come on and off like a faucet. I can go from tears to laughter in 30 seconds. I hate that they come easily, and just recently, I learned that I use them to manipulate, to some extent. When I think I am being attacked, I go into little girl mode and tears come out. Instead of being the adult and saying, "hey, that hurt," the tears are a defense mechanism that replaces words.
Men need their partner's strength just as much as the reverse is true. The signs are more subtle than in most women, though. Most men show their emotional needs less obviously and the good ones have learned to verbalize it.
