Crocodile tears

I think every person has heard this sometime somewhere in a lifetime. As a rule this phrase is used directing at women. Why? Because women are used to crying a lot. But, a lot of time this is talked only when you were at school. A school mate, class mate might have told you this when you were in school. This is when a person a girl or a boy cries over something in the playtime to tell you to stop crying the phrase is used. Well this is better way to ask someone to stop crying instead of telling them to stop crying rudely. Alright where and when it started? Perhaps we can assume from the time of stories when it began. We cannot give an exact date and time when and where it started. Most or all of us are used listening to stories. Sometimes horror stories sometime sad stories. We can notice people getting emotional watching a movie or reading a book. Alright how can we conclude that these are crocodile and others are not? Emotions are physical and mental. So physical emotions can be like you lost a loved one and when you grieve at the loss you will not be told that you're shedding crocodile tears. But, when the loss isn't physical or just emotional or mental we can call at that time the person is shedding crocodile tears. The phrase is almost or never directed at men, because men are considered to be emotionally, physically and mentally strong.
