Really? So, all the talk about bullying is just crap?

I think it's incredibly smurfed up. It implies that crying is bad, crying is a girl thing, doing girl things is bad, being a girl is bad, girls are weak.

It also enforces the misconception that men shouldn't show emotion and if they do it makes them weak. I would flip smurf if someone said that to my kid.

Quoting speaktruth2powr:" I hate gender stereotyping! I think stuff like this is far more damaging then the whole "boy toys"/"girl ... [snip!] ... light as well. Generations of men grew up thinking that women were inferior to them and that emotion is considered a detriment."
