V1 __From TV Tropes:__

Somewhere down the line, it became the "norm" that boys don't cry. It doesn't matter the scenario; shedding any tears is the ultimate no-no in terms of what you can and can't do as a man. But there comes a time when a man's emotions do get the better of him, and they pour forth--prerequisite impassioned speech may or may not be present--by cascading down his cheeks. These are what we like to call Manly Tears.

(Pain is, of course, right out. No matter how brutal the beating or how cruel the torture, the hero may scream in pain, but crying for it is Unmanly. As is fear. Crying because you're scared shitless is also Unmanly.)
