i think the point is sexual assault and murder are objectively so much worse in many aspects than crying but men will say they’re afraid to cry. both things u “can’t” do as a man but the one with no consequences that might actually be a healthy way to express emotion is the one they choose to refuse to do. not all men, but many men. i’ve genuinely met men who sexually assault women and/or their friends do and they act like they have to be “tough” because god forbid they cry.
