It’s been called the secret weapon of women all over the world?

I think it might be a fact, but we are influenced by our periods, which make us more emotional around that time of the month, so maybe.

Depends on the society.

However, given the physical differences between men and women and the male ego the social factors that mean a men is less likely to cry are pretty universal.

Yes. Men are far less likely to cry than women.

I consider it a property of the social conditioning human societies inflict on men that sensitivity is not "manly".

Crying over petty or trivial things is weakness. Men must not be weak.

Meh.

Remove the social conditioning and there would be little difference.

Probably.

They are more emotional.

But I would say manipulating men with incessant nagging is more common than emotional manipulation by crying.

Crying wouldn't work on me as I retreat behind my wall of rationality.

Yes I am a jerk.

Yes, it is true. That shows how idiotic and stupid men have become and how cunningly evil some women can be. Peace be with you.

Yeah for the most part thats true

women often use tears to change the outcome

Women have great power .... and how ? mens need for their genitals.

Incessant nagging works pretty good, too.

i know these lil girls in my neighbourhood scream like devils but the lil boys don't.

they are quieter ...

secret weapon in tears ? i dunno, never heard.

i know what delilah did, that non stop, relentless bugging made samson give up his secret ... to his death.

No, it isn't.
