Well, I'm going to have to disagree there. I don't associate "strong" with "not crying." That doesn't apply to men any more than it did for myself as a teenager when my boyfriend was killed. You know how, if a motor has too much to do, it burns out and quits? For instance, you can't put a sewing machine motor into a pickup truck, and expect it to do the job. Not crying when my boyfriend died, and later my daughter, wasn't me being strong. It was my emotional motor burning out.
