The thing is that it goes on both extremes. Some "macho men" don't cry because they've been taught it's a sign of weakness. Other male children are taught by someone not to cry. However, I believe that to be able to cry in response to art, there has to be something within you which you can "let out". I don't want to imply that my sex is the only one which may not have anything within itself. It's equally possible that a female cannot cry due to upbringing and experiences. I would truly hope that everyone can cry at art. How can you laugh and not cry? They are the co-equal flipsides.
