fellow AFABs, were you punished for crying as a child?

Sorry for the bummer question!
saw something that mentioned this being an AMAB-thing, but it definitely happened to me as well, and it just made me wonder how unusual it was to be punished (physically or otherwise) for crying as a girl
you can just yes/no, you don't need to get into it unless you want to
(feel free to unload, probably I'm not the only person who will relate)

"Fix your face before i give you something to cry about" was something I heard many times.
:(
):
😞 that sentence really takes me back
Not sure that spanking me ever made me stop crying though 😂😭🤦
did they take you to a mirror, too, to show you that crying made you ugly?
They did!!! And then I would see my face and cry more, then they would tell me to stop feeling sorry for myself. Another funny thing about the spankings were that if I managed to not cry at all, that means they didn’t hit me hard enough and had to hit me again, even harder. It’s all about crying the perfect amount.
