Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?

I’ve never been the sort of person to ask or insist anyone to display a particular expression. But…

At times I’ve encountered friends, both male and female, that were struggling in life and crying.

Sometimes I would smile at them and say “Hey, you’re leaking again”

I almost always got them to lift their spirits and smile, with a bit of a lighthearted chuckle even.

Though not a moment I’d take a photo of, out of respect, it still reminds me how easy it can be to get a friend to smile.
