In reply to Moon Roy. I loved your words "Modern world believes more in emotional quotient than the intelligent." Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

‘Crying is a girl thing?’ – NOT at all and neither does it always convey ‘weakness’. On the contrary ‘not crying’ is related to being ‘strong’. But it is simply an expression to pour out one’s particular feelings and emotions whether the person is a boy or girl. Mother Nature has blessed everyone of us with this humanly characteristics. And modern world believes more in Emotional Quotient than Intelligent Quotient. I feel – to cry is human, and a real man should have the guts to follow his heart. Unfortunately this kind of discrimination runs deep into our social roots. We need more such initiatives to spread awareness and it should start from our homes.

In reply to matheikal. We find hypocrites in both. It's not always the men, you see them in women too. People are unknowingly glued to the definition given by the society where gender discrimination is a common thing. Women should also understand their value. She has to know how equally should be respected. If she, with her consent, let gender discrimination happen to her without raising her voice, it's her fault too.

Well I don’t feel crying is a girl thing. Boys do get hurt and I think they cry too but not in front of people. Those who say crying is girly thing flaunt their manhood. This is physiological process and is same for all genders.

Recently a female colleague of mine sent me a copy of this video through Whatsapp. It’s the same colleague who makes fun of me behind my back for helping my wife with certain home jobs. Our women are also terribly hypocritical; they won’t let men be good!
