Sorry for the bummer question!
saw something that mentioned this being an AMAB-thing, but it definitely happened to me as well, and it just made me wonder how unusual it was to be punished (physically or otherwise) for crying as a girl
you can just yes/no, you don't need to get into it unless you want to
(feel free to unload, probably I'm not the only person who will relate)
I'm AMAB but my girlfriend isn't and since she doesn't have lemmy I will speak for her.
Yes, she was often told that she'd be given something to cry about and things similar to that. Her crying was called fake or pathetic or annoying.
