Maybe I’m coming late to this particular topic but did the story about Theresa May’s tears disturb you as much as it did me?
The thought that anyone could command the sympathy of the public, simply by turning on the water works, is abhorrent to me.
So when I saw this tweet, it riled me:
Oh ffs. Seeing men who complained May showed no emotion now complaining about tears. In truth, as ever, they’re complaining about women not fitting THEIR view of what a woman should be.

To suggest that people are criticising her for behaving like a woman is disingenuous in the extreme – and frankly insulting to people of the female gender.
The point people were making was, well, here’s David Walliams:
Just like Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May only ever cried for herself.

Paul Johnson merely expands on the theme:

As does Aaron Bastani:
May cried because she’s no longer PM.
Under her watch people cried while being unlawfully deported, losing their disability benefit and visting foodbanks.
Takes a cosseted existence to think her response is ‘moving’. Hopefully as years pass she’ll shed tear for right reasons.

Here’s a fuller explanation:
I know what you said but this has nothing to do with men and all about her own ego trip. The majority of people, both men and women have wanted her to show empathy and the only time she has is for herself.

And let’s look at some of those other issues:

The lists go on and on:

every family who has been sanctioned
every family who has had to use a food bank
every family who has had to send their kids to school without food or without the dinner money
every family that has to worry about a loved one in care
every family that has had a loved one deported— Jane Gilbert (@msjanebond007) May 24, 2019
The maybot gets no sympathy from those of us with a heart as you have so well documented – as @Alston_UNSR noted “much of the glue that has held British society together since WW2 has been deliberately removed and replaced with a harsh and uncaring ethos.” Good riddance https://t.co/yDIIblV24f

I don’t feel sorry. People of colour don’t feel sorry. LGBTQ people don’t feel sorry. Working class people don’t feel sorry. Europeans don’t feel sorry. Migrants don’t feel sorry. We don’t feel sorry. https://t.co/BIKkRN1Hg7

Someone else was far more creative with that image:

So the reason Mrs May received no sympathy has nothing to do with her behaviour as a woman. It’s actually much more simple:
She doesn’t deserve it.
No sympathy at all for this cruel vindictive woman, or for any of her equally nasty cronies.
Worse, in my view, that the Maybot’s disgusting self-pity is the sight of the senescent Vince Cable-Car going around grinning the ass off himself – with no compunction regarding the deaths of 120,000 and immiseration of many more that he propped up and justifies to this day.
Perhaps a hunt now to see weather she had prospered from the contracts given out to companies that benefited her and hubby from the hedge fund he sits on hmmm that would bring tears hmmm
twitter seems to have banished Dry Your Eyes May #MayResigns pic.twitter.com/UKAT3FVomJ from The Agitator’s account (unless he’s deleted it himself for some reason); pity!
She is a charlatan….not a christian
Spot on, mate.
