We can't “really” see amidst the watery eyes. But what is the psychological mystery behind them? According to Julius Lutaakome, a psychologist with the national programme of mental health and part time lecturer at Nkumba University, the crying of a woman is not a weakness, but rather a sign and way of emotion. “It's a good thing for their emotional side,” Lutaakome says. “Society allows for woman to cry, but it would seem a weakness for the men to do so,” he says. Kajumba Mayanja, a clinical psychologist and lecturer at Makerere University Institute of Psychology, says the ‘work-home-role' conflict, is hard to handle without ever shedding a tear. “The pressure of being a mother, a wife and at the same time an employee, is not easy,” says Mayanja, “You are always under pressure to fulfil these roles.” He says women trying to fulfil these roles are affected negatively, especially if they are working among people who may not understand what they have to bear. “The work schedule may not be fair enough,” he says. “So she's at work, but also thinking about a sick baby or a nagging husband,” Mayanja says. He adds that in business matters, it's easy to get frustrated or angry when you work hard and your expectations aren't met. “We tend to be too instrumental in business and forget the emotional side,” he says. He says women tend to be empathetic, especially if they try to explain their tough situations to a person who may not understand. Mayanja, however, say out that the way women and men react to situations, reflects the different social upbringing of children. He says whereas boys are socially raised to be self reliant, girls are raised to be submissive and refer to others for help. “Men grow up knowing they have to fight battles on their own,” he says, “but women are raised to be submissive and call in an authority when faced with a hard condition.” He says a troubled woman cries if no person comes in to help her out. “If an authority does not come to help, they feel stuck, humiliated and then cry,” says Mayanja.
