It is related to the people's view on women and man. Most of us think that man should protect women, if man cries he will be considerd as a weakness. I think man just hole their tear but do not have tear.

I think this is because women are more sensitive and emotional. They cannot hide their emotions at times that is why they tend to bring it out through crying. Men are also emotional but they tend to hide this because some are concerned with their image, some have this belief that they may be seen as a weak person when they cry.
