I agree with Ms. Berry that both women and men should be allowed to cry in public without fear.
HOWEVER, I strongly disagree with the notion of shedding tears left and right for the sake of The Country or whatever drama she is "enjoying" at the moment. As with most things, there is a limit.
As a one-time manager of an office full of both women and men the crying jags women launched into were just as off-putting as the aggressive behavior the men were capable of. Both were oftentimes devices used to distract from the problem at hand.
I realize we are all only human, and do human things, but to bang the drum about it?
Well, it brings to the eyes is what it does.
