The reality is that only the most skilled actors can produce tears on demand to achieve an effect. Generally, people cry because they are feeling deeply distressed. Worthwhile conversations about developing resilience & thick skins can be had but not about the colour of that skinhttps://twitter.com/IonaItalia/status/995902988358176768 …

This is about women who cry as the result of being bullied. Their tears are seen as an aggressive act. It's a classic combination of misogyny and victim blaming. But somehow OK if the victim has white skin. These double standards are wrong. https://twitter.com/johnpike15/status/995902634379759616 …
