I will likely be down voted, but this is from my experience in the US and in Asian countries where I have lived.
The acceptability of your crying depends on the reason for the crying. As a man it's totally acceptable to cry in certain scenarios (your mother dying, your child being born, etc).
However, many scenarios where it may be fine for women to cry it would be awkward or strange for a man to cry (have a hard day at work, hate your job, boss stressing you out, argument with a friend, etc).
