12944135, At what age do you start telling a crying boy to "man up?"

Or is that antiquated patriarchy that's inappropriate for any age?

I just saw a kid that looked to be between ten and twelve full on bawling (he had fallen on some ice...nothing appeared to be bleeding or broken) and my first instinct was to tell him to man up.

I didn't. But his Mom didn't appear to either. And I kinda judged her for it.
