One explanation is that women are not stone-hearted like men. Other explanations include women being taught that it is okay to cry, while men are taught to be tough and not to cry. That is the societal. learned factor. It could also be that women are naturally more emotional than men.

Oxytocin likely plays a large role in this as well. This neurochemical has positive benefits to empathy, the ability to pick up subtle physical and vocal cues about emotional states in others, as well as being primarily for forming bonds between a mother and offspring it gets put to a lot of different uses in our complex societies.
