Response 4

Hillary’s snapshot is of a boy with a sentence on it that says Boys Don’t CRY! But this Don’t is crossed out, which means the boy should cry. In a patriarchal society, a man is the head of the family. There is a Chinese saying that “a man has tears but he does not flick it lightly”, which means that a man cannot shed tears easily even in important matters. This will be a joke. However, now that men and women are equal, men don’t need to care about their faces. Even if they cry, no one will laugh at them.
