I ask this question because in my last French exam (I'm French educated) we had a text and some questions. The text was a part of The Iliads when Priam, king of the trojans, begged Achilles, a Greek general and all around bad-***, for the body of his dead son, Hector. The last question of the exam was related to the paragraph in which Achilles and Priam cry together after Priam's heartfelt speech. When my teacher was distributing the exams, she was irritated by a peculiar girl who had written for that question that the crying of Achilles made him week. The teacher explained to the girl how he wasn't week and etc.
Personally, I think crying isn't a sign of weakness. I consider it as a sign of a person being human. If a person never cried and never had an once of sadness in him then we wouldn't be human; he would be a sort of happy-bot designed to be happy 24/7. That or the person is really dull, boring and doesn't have any emotion what so ever. How could you be happy without sadness to compare it to?
I also think crying never solved anything, well in the long-run anyway. I understand a quick cry-on-the-shoulder to get you're emotions strait, but when you spend all day weeping you end up not doing nothing instead of solving the problem in which you're weeping for and you eventually fell worse.
no im just saying women dont have the constant need to feel tough like most guys do. I mean anyone can cry girls just probaly wont get beanten up for guy on the other hand probaly will

That's such a massive massive stereotype. Why do you assume guys HAVE to feel and act tough? There's no need for me to demonstrate my alpha male status the whole time.
And I can't tell what your last sentence, it's rather ambiguous.
Ah, there we go. Thanks, Nichodemus. Boys don't always feel that. They're pretty much the same in the mind. It all depends on the fragility of the individual.

Yep yep. Well actually I guess to a certain extent I'm still held back a little by the guy stereotype, but as I grow older, I realise it's a tad it foolish. Like I didn't cry when my friend passed on just to maintain that image. Which admittedly was extreme and regrettable.
I do not think crying is a sign of weakness. Unless you cry over pointless things, I suppose it is; but everyone has the right to cry over the loss of someone or even tears of happiness.
Well technically, crying is just another way the body releases waste and extra sodium from the body. =P But, no it is not a weakness to cry cause NO one will go through life without crying and sometimes it is the best way to grieve.
When a human experiences negative emotions, it causes certain toxic chemicals to begin to build up in the brain. Crying is one of the fastest ways to purge these toxins.
Hm, I guess blind people really cannot cry. And no, it is not a sign of weakness.
ON the contrary, the blind DO cry. Just because they cannot see doesn't mean their tear ducts are also non-functional. I have seen a blind person cry before. (don't ask me why I was watching blind people cry) Crying.... I do a bit of that myself on rare occasion. Just last week, for example, I was so infuriated at someone I was in tears of rage. The weakness depends on the emotion.
