One night I heard sobbing coming from the backyard. I looked out there and it was my father crying alone in the dark. His older brother was dying so it's understandable but he was ashamed and got tougher with me after that because I had seen him vulnerable. Has anyone seen their father cry?

In the unmoderated section, I have a joke against someone's mom and it has three thumb ups at the moment. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is me making the jokes? Or maybe they are just funny to some people?
I don't know, I am more so irritated at the thumbs people if they are the same people that would thumb down the exactr same comment about a crying mother.
I don't appreciate you trying to bring up your issue of gender divisions in a subject that doesn't really involve gender divisions, but you have every right.
"I am actually pretty iffy about how people have voted up a jokey comment on a serious matter, yet if this was aimed at women, it would be thumbed down to the max."
You're building your argument/complaint on an assumption. There aren't any stories about crying Mothers for you to base your claim off of in which the same users that thumbsed up Space_Ghost participated in the commenting and thumbsing process, hence, it is an assumption. Whether or not it is a good one or an accurate one, it is an assumption, whether or not it is a good or accurate assumption does not change this.
"I am more so irritated at the thumbs people if they are the same people that would thumb down the exactr same comment about a crying mother."
And yes, I understand that this statement contains an "if", but that "if" is still based off of purely hypothetical assumption.
Sorry, I am thumbsing you down for this one. This is me explaining why, because I have the time this time ;)
So no, it isn't an assumption. If so, I ask you to show me where a joke that is seeing women in a negative light has been thumbed up on a serious topic in which a woman is in a negative state, I assure you that you'll find none.
There are many stories about females being in an negative emotional state, maybe not this exact same situation, but the conclusion is the same; they cry.
I have time, in which is all I need to give you proof of this happening. I'll reply to you again soon.
But regardless of which issues you wish to address, I still base my thumbs down of you on the premise that your male-female relations issue does not belong here. You brought it up out of the blue and it does not bear relevance to the topic.
Dad was staring at the wall in his office, I asked him if he's alright, he immediately told me to vacant his office. I refused and demanded he answer me, from there I realised he was crying. I was EXTREMELY BEWILDERED and CONFUSED, I felt like an idiot not knowing how to react to him. So I just walked out and closed the door.
Mum told me he just found out his Mother just passed, oddly enough, his mother (my grandma) was his comfort zone, someone who he can openly express himself because granddad was exactly like my Dad.
My Dad was kind of an asshole. He dealt with his problems with anger and sarcasm. My Mom said that the day I was born, when he held me in his arms, he cried. Probably because he realized that if he stuck around, his youth was over.
Enjoy your belated youth you fat prick.
People with ASPD don't get off on killing people, most never kill anyone.
The other time was the morning before his dad, my grandad, died. We knew he would be dead before midday. I didn't cry even though I felt like I should. But my dad did a lot, even though he never liked his dad.
EDIT: Oh, and when I piece of chilli pepper hit him in the eye and we all had to go to hospital with him. That was horrible but hilarious.
Looks like it's too late to shut up, so I guess I'm laughing!
LOLOLOL
=D
Yes, I have seen my dad cry, but only twice. Both times he was drunk. It's normal for men to cry, though. Your dad isn't the only one, and it's a shame he feels ashamed about it:/. It's understandable for him to act this way, though.
My died in a accident when I was about 2 or 3. I only have about 2 or 3 memories of him and those are blurred but they were happy moments.
I've seen my dad cry once, when his mum died. But saying that I hardly ever see my dad so he could be crying more often. Who knows.
He's basically my father figure, my male rolemodel, etc. He's one of the strongest people I know.
He's seen what I've gone through, and he's always been there for me.
He's pretty much my hero, and to see him cry was definitely a tear jerker for me.
