Back story, take a look at "big girls don't cry" at www.qkhunt.blogspot.com
ok ok, now that we have had several women (and Christian) weigh in, I think it is time for the truth to be heard. I read ALL the comments left, and about 75% of you ladies cannot disconnect pain and sadness crying. I never said any thing about never crying, or it isn't OK to show emotion. Pain, is NOT an emotion, it is a sensory stimulation from the outside coming in. True emotional feeling is a chemical release or a nervous system response, from the inside going out. It is OK to cry if you are sad, emotionally hurt, or extremely happy. cool, whatever. but we are grown adults here people, we are not kids on the play ground. To say it is OK to do things our kids do is about as smart as bragging to your boss that "I just pooped on the potty" in the middle of a business meeting. Raise the level people.
A lot of the comments started out good with "I can't remember the last time I cried because of pain", which made me happy to see, but then ended with "cry it out girl" or "if it hurts, cry". Are you ladies afraid of being decisive? Quit trying to be so bipartisan, McCain.
Kasey, I know your family, I know your dad, he would tell you to suck it up too! Dick doesn't take any mess!
Bottom line, part of growing up and being adults is reacting to the outside world appropriately. Not throwing temper tantrums, not pouting cause we didn't get our way, not yelling in a quite restaurant, etc. part of that is not crying because we have an ouie.

You sound so hard core.
i think i got a little carried away because all the ladies on your site either sounded the same or contradicted themselves.
I enjoyed the "pooped on the potty" comment. I laughed out loud at work. I have to go with Q on this one Kasey. It is ok to cry because you are happy or sad, etc... but because you are physically hurt, no it is not all right. You have to hold it in now matter how bad it hurts. Like Tom Hanks said in a League of their Own "There's no crying in baseball!" Q, you cried in High School because of physical pain? I have to say my last time was sixth grade.
I did not cry when Obama signed the "stimulus" (porkulus) plan today.
Is that tough enough for ya?
Karol :0)
