Complexity of a task and crying

From NYTimes.com: Wisconsin? Texas and Ohio Are Where All the Action Has Gone

Adding to the complexity, Texas holds a primary and a caucus on the same day, with the evening caucus open only to those who have already cast primary ballots, either in early voting (which began Tuesday) or at the polls on March 4. Mr. Obama has prevailed in most caucuses up to now.

Mrs. Clinton said she could not begin to explain how the Texas system worked. “I had no idea how bizarre it is,” she said aboard her plane flying from Wisconsin to Ohio. “We have grown men crying over it.” (bold my emphasis)

I thought this was an interesting choice of words for Hillary Clinton to use as the phrase seems to perpetuate the stereotype that men can deal with more complex issues.  If an issue is so complex that men are crying over it, then it is a difficult issue.  How do you rank the complexity of a task, gender, and crying in frustration?  Is this a scale that Hillary Clinton has in mind?
