a man cries, and it is seen as a release,

a build up of suffering he's finally let run rampant.

an accomplishment to scream and melt,

for how could such a renowned figure

let himself work up such a state of desperation?

he must be passionate about this,

he couldn't even take the time to compose himself.

a woman cries, and it is seen as hysterics

a dramatic outburst consisting of irrational thought

a turning point in conversation where she is no longer taken seriously

she's letting her emotion get the best of her,

for how could such an elegant figure display such wrath?

is it that time of the month?

she must not care about this,

she would've taken the time to compose herself.
