This is beside the point, but my thoughts on crying, as a woman, is that an apology before crying is usually because the crying interrupts the flow of conversation, it forces a pause in the thought, and the apology is for the pause, not the crying. If someone were telling a story, but was having a hard time getting through it due to uncontrollable laughter, there would probably be an apology there too.
However, if the crying is taking place when there’s no conversation, just witnessing something sad, there’s no need for an apology. Same with laughter; as an audience member at a comedy show, there wouldn’t be a need to apologize for laughing when it’s not interrupting anything.

I think this is a great perspective and way of looking at it. I've never considered it this way. Thank you!
