This delusional con artist would splutter with rage if men didn't "leave their emotion at the door" and let loose a string of deserved profanity at some incompetent sommitch, male or female, who should never have been hired in the first place.
Let's see it, Sheeren. Let's see men be allowed to show their emotions at work.
A woman bursting into tears is the ultimate form of manipulating the men around her.
(To be clear, there are legitimate reasons to cry like grieving the loss of a loved one, etc.)
The feminization continues.
Men are only allowed to cry after watching Old Yeller.
If a crossdresser starts crying at work, which side gets points?
I’ve run into many of the same people.
“name a song that makes you cry.”
A line,If not cry at least a good sized lump in the throat: “—-my son will wear the Green Beret…” (caught me off guard).
“Emotional intelligence” means properly reading the room.
You may not want to cry unless everybody else is crying with you.
Lol.
IMO, “Emotional intelligence” means being able to control your emotions.
Albinoni’s Adagio in G Minor

The funeral song of the end of Western Civilization.
That is part of it for sure.
Reading the room is another critical element.
The old saying applies: “When in Rome do as the Romans do” or at a minimum don’t anger the Romans.
Every group—large or small—has its “Overton Window” of norms.
The trick is to identify those norms as quickly as possible and keep within them.
That can be easier said than done—particularly in this day and age when group customs can vary widely—often without obvious clues.
I had a great boss who explained this to me on day one:
“There are three ways to do any task...The right way, the wrong way, and our way. Do it our way and you will be fine.”
I kept myself together when bullets were flying just outside my office during an active shooter situation. I kept it together when the DPD, Fire Department, and FBI told me to clear my building and in the chaotic hours that followed. I kept it together until I got home to cry in my husband’s arms.
I earned a lot of respect for being so composed while others were freaking out.
I lost it at work when my son called me from his school to tell me there was an active shooter, people were hurt, and he was huddling in a classroom. My entire body was shaking with the need to hurt whoever was threatening my baby.
No one judged me.
As a rule, though, one does not get emotional at work. It’s unprofessional.
I’d be crying too - over the Muslim takeover there.
Joan said it best on Mad Men....”there’s a place for that, your apartment.”
Remember when Britannia ruled the waves and a fourth of the world and when Brits vowed that they never, never, never, never shall be slaves?
That was then. This is now.
Neither. Both lose.
There are times when I would expect leaders to cry: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-58874233
I remember that.
