Twilight interviews a stallion who recently lost a loved one as to why he didn’t cry much about it. She doesn’t set out to accuse, but to help and understand. What she finds, she was not expecting.

I wrote this story as a kind of response to a friend on the issue of men and crying. I do my best not to attack the feminist viewpoint that says “patriarchy, nuff said!” because I think most folks have either rejected that notion entirely or are at least questioning it already.

While reading this, please put aside any biases you have, for or against men crying or for or against women doing the same. There are general differences between the genders that can at times appear concerning. It’s healthy to ask questions.
