The Ice Queen Melteth
My take on Hillary's crocodile tears over at FamilySecurityMatters.org:
Why is a woman who claims to be tough on the issues suddenly breaking down during a public campaign appearance? True, she was surrounded by women, not men, and perhaps she felt “safe” in shedding a few tears in that environment. But as president, if she’s elected, she won’t have the luxury of being surrounded by other women who will be sympathetic to her need to cry. She’ll be dealing with tough and often unscrupulous men (think Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez, for starters) who do not have time for tears and would interpret them as weakness. We cannot afford to have a weak occupant in the White House. Remember Jimmy Carter? The stakes are even higher now.

No crying, she's an ice queen. One tear, and she's not tough enough to be president. How many times has Romney cried in public during the last couple of months? Maybe three? Do I sense a double standard here?
You even point out some of the typical double standards -- both for strong women and emotional men -- but you seem to take the attitude that it is what it is, and why should we change it? That just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
