Politicians who cry--- Is there a double standard?

Tweet

There was a male politician who cried in public as he confessed his wrongdoing, etc. and no one said anything bad about him. Sarah Palin, today on the radio, stated that this pointed to a double standard as, if a female politician had cried in public she would have been made fun of. She said that females in leadership positions have to work twice as hard as men do to gain respect. I am wondering what you think of this... Do you trust politicians who cry? Do you respect men who cry in public more than you respect women who cry in public?
