Women crying in the house can be a powerful tool....men crying in house just dimishes their power. Crying comes with some responsibility and can change the dynamics of a group of people for the better or for the worse. An example of that is Katie getting upset with Biggins instead of letting him know she was offended and demanding an opology, like I imagine Saira would do or Aubrey or any of the guys in the house....the outcome may have been a very different for Biggins and for herself....she has cried numerous times now and I see it at best as a sign of insecurity and at worst as an act of passive aggression. Either of which are not good traits for someone going into the Big Brother environment.
