Women respond to men's tears as "Oh, that's cute, he isn't afraid to show his emotions." They don't feel a need to "mother" him, and if they do, they will lose respect for the man.
With a woman, it's different. The "mother" in them comes to the rescue. The "best friend" in them drops everything to lend support. They become "comrades in arms," willing to fight or sacrifice for the "poor victim" in order to express solidarity and show that they care.
Hillary has finally discovered that she is female and that she can call upon these hidden resources in times of need.
Expect to see her exploit this new-found sisterhood for all it's worth.
Good points.
As a conservative woman, the reaction I had was that I felt Hilary was being a crybaby, because for once, she wasn’t getting her way.
