Amen, BB! Overly sensitive men are just..ugh. It's like, be a MAN and take control, will ya? And I can't stand crying either...
...although I'm not one to talk. I cried over a book this morning, yes, a book. Excusing self on grounds that it's been a very very stress-laden emotional week.

Ah, I can so relate to that. I have four older brothers, and a twin sister. Well, my sister and I never really got along as children. She was more interested in playing dolls and dress-up and having tea-parties. She cried when she scraped her knee and then screamed at me because it was always my fault  My brothers on the other hand, played cool games like cops and robbers, GI-Joe (not the dolls, they all ran around with pretend guns shooting each other up)
In addition to being the youngest (born second of me and my sister) I was also stunted, so every time I would try to play football with the guys, I ended up breaking something. Now - well at least before I got pregnant - I still play rugby, much to my husbands consternation because I can't ever manage to get away without some sort of serious injury  But its so worth it.
Now the screaming and ranting I am not familiar with. I really am a pacifist when it comes to personal issues. (War and political issues are different) Something has to really be wrong for it to bug me.
Except... now, because of these wonderful little bundles of joy growing in my tummy. I find myself not even being able to finish reading Where the Red Fern Grows to my kids. *sigh* So I am officially a weepy-woman again for the next 4 months.

Hey, that book is sad. I mean, not just so-sweet-I-had-to-cry. Nuh unh. It's pure-D sad.
(I refuse to read it again because I'll bawl like a baby and crack my hubby up.) |

Congratulations, BB! Remember to think of them as 'bundles of joy' in the future as well!
Btw, I firmly agree with you about sensitive men! By all that is sacred -- that is annoying! 
Of course, I´ve become a complete cry-baby myself (which my hubby finds extremely funny...), but I simply can´t stand a crying man. Though my hubby happened to 'get something in his eye' just when Boromir died! 
I, too, was (am) a tomboy. I never played with dolls, if you don´t count the ones from Star Wars. But they´re not dolls, really...
Also, whenever me and the boys played Star Wars (well, in person, so to speak...) I always wanted to be Darth Vader. If anyone had a problem with that I just beat them up!
So, I´m not very girly (except when I´m pregnant or when I see a spider) and girly men don´t do anything for me other than annoy the crap out of me! |

I only started getting really girlie when I saw LOTR at the cinema, for some reason. Seemed to awaken my inner desire to wear long frocks and have long hair. I am an only child though, no brothers or anything, but I was brought up with sci-fi and fantasy and was always tomboy-ish when I was younger. I did have some dolls but preferred Star Wars stuff, my Dr Who stuff and I had loads of He-Man figures as well. I always remember in Primary School being asked why I liked science fiction as it was a ‘boy’s thing’, which really annoyed me at the time. My mother actually has despaired at me for years because I wouldn’t dress up all girlie and wear jewellery and make-up, and “refused to do anything to sort out my appearance” to use her words, since she was a bit disappointed that I wasn’t pretty anyway, even without the make-up.
If only she could see me now. Just been doing my photos I was asked for of my costume for an upcoming sci-fi con. Loads of make-up, purple wig and a silver PVC catsuit. Wonder if that was what mum wanted?

Aww, thanks Anna! 
SW - I refuse to this day to wear dresses/skirts/anything of the sort. It is a battle to make me wear dress-pants.
