I have plenty of male friends who have cried in front me, and it wasn't a burden at all. I don't think there's a problem with showing emotion, and I do frequently. It's the hysterical, ridiculous, irrational shit in public, that's humiliating to yourself and those associated with you that I'm referring to. Not that men aren't without that too, I've just never seen it come out at work before. With chicks all bets are off.
I already explained the reason. Women are socialized in such a way that it is OK for them to display emotions in public, men are socialized in such a way that it is not OK to display emotions in public. It's one thing to cry in front of a close friend, it's quite another to cry in front of people you aren't close with. Women are socialized in such a way that it is normal and even sometimes expected for them to display emotions, for men it's the opposite. Most men vent *all* their emotions via anger and/or violence.

Sexual harrassment, sure, you'll get no argument from me that HARASSMENT is sexist. If you were preaching about how bad sexual harassment is that'd be one thing, but you're pissing and moaning about words that aren't even directed at you.
I am including all forms of sexism in the workplace. I mentioned, as examples, glass ceilings, sexual harassment, the pressure that is put on women whose job will reflect not only on them but on *all* women.
