When we were kids, turning on the waterworks used to have either mum or dad uttering that immortal phrase: "If you don't stop I'll give you something to cry about." They never did of course.
And perish the thought that a mere female trying to carve out a career on national newspapers resorted to tears in front of the mostly sexist gits she had to work with. Never did. Never would. For women my generation, bursting into tears just reinforced every stereotypical opinion men had of you. And hell would freeze over before that happened.
Not saying any of this is right, it's probably not. But if there is one curious thing I have noticed about those given to dramatic public tears and those who'd rather stick pins in their eyes and it's this: The more a person has to cry about, the less they actually do so.
