Good theory. I'll buy it.Maybe you're crying internally but for some reason your tear ducts always seem to block up?

If crying at movies is effeminate, than call me Richard Simmons!
Hell, I cry during football games sometimes.
My brother's an iSFP, but I wouldn't say he's girly at all. He does seriously cry during just about every movie though.
Just to make it clear, I was only mistaken for a male because they couldn't see me.
If you look at me it's really obvious that I'm a female.

You mean they thought the way you wrote was "masculine"? I've often wondered about that. ARE there any actual differences that show up in the way men and women write -- assuming you can't see their handwriting-- becuase I tend to think not...

This seems to think there are (they studied fiction). There's a whole online test too. It's pretty entertaining.
However there have been people (women) who have said to me that they wonder why I'm not gay...
Just how feminine does one have to appear to be considered "effeminate"? Clearly sexual orientation has no bearing. Anyhow I am not sure what type has to do with this.
Yeah, good question. It all depends on what you've been conditioned since birth to believe. Those of us who grew up in environments that accepted a wide variety of human behaviors as being non-gender specific (such as crying when you feel sad, or being bold and assertive when you need to make a point) are likely not to go around labelling behavior as being either too masculine (for women) or too feminine (for men).

I guess I grew up in one of those environments.
I balled watching the Poseiden Adventure when the fat lady drowned(pats Jeffster on the back)
Hey, it's okay, ALL my male friends cry during movies. I say it's a sign that they are truly "emotionally literate" people. Hee! (well, or else it just means they just like tearjerker dramas...) Actually, there was an ISTP on another type list I'm on who said he cries during movies too, so I don't think it's an F thing. And I recall a (possibly) ISTP guy I dated in grad school once said to me that anybody who never cried when Old Yeller died is heartless.

I think it's hilarious that most of the male ISFPs I know consider themselves to be effeminate while I, a female ISFP, have even been mistaken for a male on other forums. (I thought here on this forum my gender was obvious though.)
ISFPs are you:
A) A masculine male
B) A tomboy female
C) An effeminate male
D) A feminine female
