where his civilizations, including our own

I don't really have one, beyond the good ol' boy imagery, and then only in a slightly derogatory sense. But if the "real men" in HP haven't been doing the cryin', who has been, is my question. I mean, I think that Dumbledore's a pretty decent male role model, and his age is immaterial. But apparently it disqualifies him from being a "real man" in the comment above.
