What the fuck, Beaten Man?

“Let it out…go on…cry. You’ll feel better.”

OHHHH GOOOD!!! I HATE THATTT!!! AAAAARRRGH!!

And I’m a girl. eheheh

I think whether or not it’s a weakness is pretty relative to me. Some people are more openly emotional than others and I wouldn’t condemn someone to call it “weakness” just because they might cry when I myself would not. I don’t think that dismissing someone as “weak” because they’re not as stoic as another is something that’s worth paying attention to anyway. It certainly wouldn’t likely change that person anyway.

Huh? Read “Grampa” for “Gramdpa”

This reminds me of the scene in Sleepless in Seattle:
Sam Baldwin: Well I’m not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!
Greg: She’s, as you just saw, very emotional.
Sam Baldwin: Although I cried at the end of “the Dirty Dozen.”
Greg: Who didn’t?
Sam Baldwin: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jakel and Lee Marvin (Begins to cry.) were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis…
Crying too
Sam Baldwin: And Trini Lopez -
Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!
Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines…
Greg: Stop.
Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jakel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet…
Crying harder

By the way, sadly it seems that there is in fact a cause for the “feminization” men:

Booze

Now I’m really gonna cry :frowning:

86

No fair, leander… I mentioned that! Just not the actual dialog …
BTW, Beaten Man… IMO they haven’t changed. Kids still beat the crap out of other kids who they deem aren’t tough. I believe they’re called wimps.

87

Sorry dantheman, just thought it was such a classic scene.

Btw, It’s a Wonderful Life is IMHO the ultimate weeper.

There’s no CRYING in this uber masculine society of ours!!!

Seriously, Beaten Man, you’ve obviously never seen “Boston Public” Believe me. The principal gets to knock kids into lockers and teachers getting into fisticuffs. Whatever paltry paddling you suffered through, it’s nothing compared to this. Fiction IS stranger than truth…:slight_smile:

But anyway, isn’t it a good thing that these horrible things are stopping? And what exactly do you mean by feminizing men? I mean, what is your definition of feminine and masculine, and it better be a hell of a lot better than the stereotypical response, “Well you know, guys are BADASS, and women…um…er…” I mean, are you implying that all women are weak and have undesirable traits?

I tihink most men would rather cry than kill themselves. Kleenex just aren’t very sharp.

91

I couldn’t cry, so I tried to slash my wrists with a razor.

Good thing mine is electric.
