So, being brief, when man are led to tears, they say they're shedding manly tears. Why so? I know society has a thing against men crying, but why isn't it seen as a sign of weakness if the tears are manly? What makes tears manly? Please do provide examples of manly tears and unmanly tears, and give a thorough comparison between both, taking into account the circumstances where they were shed, their weight and their overall composition. SRS BSNS thread seal, even though it doesn't look like it.
Contrary to popular belief there are actually only two situations in which a man can cry: death of a close family member (including a pet dog, but not a cat) and a good whack in the testes.
If you've just saved the country/world/galaxy/universe/all reality, and you're standing on a cliff (facing either a sunrise or sunset) either alone or with the woman you saved (possibly with your supporting cast behind you a ways), and the face of your dead mentor/best friend shows up in the cloud/super imposed over the sky, and gives you one last smile/wink/thumbs up/etc, then you are allowed to cry some manly tears (not a sob, but some tears streaming down your face) until the end credits roll.
