Why is it that women cry easier than men?

Perhaps it's in part that men (through environmental / societal learning) are quicker to nip the urge to cry in the bud. Or try to at least. Emotions are emotions, and can get the better of anyone. Although, women do go through more times when hormones are crazy... menopause being one big one... and those certainly wreak havoc. I'm suddenly reminded of some tv show we had to watch in like 3rd grade, where this guy with a guitar is singing with a huge grin on his face, "It's alright to cryyyyyyy..... cryin' makes you feeeeeel betterrr... It's alright to cry...." :-)
