I know it's just a meme, but god damn I hate this format. Some men cry while watching the titanic, some (many) women use *nix.

A small alteration would be to swap one of the female heads up top with a male, and go "Man, Chad guy never cries about anything. Is he even human?" You can even swap out Chad with chadette, depending on context.

Just a guess.

In the same vein, comments like "I'm a big bearded man but I cried...". As if they need to reaffirm their masculinity when they speak about their feelings in case we suddenly think they turned into a unicorn or something.

Also, crying is not the only way to be sad. Some people regardless of gender just don't cry easily when sad, doesn't mean they're not sad. Some people regardless of gender may not want to cry in front of other people for a movie. Or maybe they've already seen the movie alone and sobbed all day the first time but know what to expect the second time. It's frankly none of your business to judge how other people react to sad things and you certainly do not have enough evidence just looking at them to declare they "have no feelings," unless their ears are pointy and were the first to develop Warp Drive.
