Yes, you're not a man unless you cried when Dumbledor died.
Men don't cry when they stub their toe though, that's for pansies.
It all depends on context

I think it s perfectly fine for a man to cry, though whenever possible I always try to keep my composure in public due to the social stigma that is forced upon men saying that we are to be what is essentially an emotionless autonomous statue. Though when I am alone don't have a problem with crying...just got done watching Elfen Lied, great series but it made me cry like a little baby.
This whole question reeks of no true Scotsman. Crying is completely individual, and has nothing to do with gender. In my opinion, everyone should cry a lot more. It's good emotional release.
only in some moments in time.
I will admit it is not good to repress things but turning into a unstable sixteen year old spilling out all of your emotions at once is frightening. no wait it is frightening when ANYONE does it.
saying it makes you a pussy is bullshit. unless you do it once a week and it is because life is "hard"

There's crying, and then there's snivelling. Real men don't snivel. To be honest if things ever get too much for me and I can't hold back the tears I always make sure no one can see me, I think this is acceptable. Crying silently and in a more controlled manner in public can also be alright for the right reasons (not if you fail your driving test, but at a funeral or something where the man understand the true importance of things).
I'm emotionally unstable so I generally cry more than others. Doesn't make me any less of a man from my perspective. It's also refreshing getting those things out of your system instead of just holding them in.
If it is a appropriate situation there is nothing wrong with it. Death of a loved one? Of Course. Because you favorite show is canceled? Cowboy Up and get over it.
