I have a lot of male friends whom seem to think women are the weaker sex. They tend to warn me about other men and their behaviors. Men are far more vunerable, yet men tend to think women are fools. There is nothing like when a man loves a woman, there is nothing he would not do. So who's really zooming who?

The reality is that women do have the upper hand and men realize this. However, I have noticed in women younger in their late teens and early twenties (not all) but a great deal of them. Will allow men to put them through a great deal of drama, and i really do not understand why they are not aware of the power they possess. So, your male friends are probably just letting you know from their experiences. God bless

Troubling this one! I really wish we could get past all of this weaker sex thing with men!! Ok physically yes I am the weaker sex. Emotionally, well I will admit my hormones get the best of me I cannot deny that I go through a roller coaster every month. The simple fact is that we are more fragile than men. They don't endure the things we do and they use this to their advantage. I don't know that they do this on purpose but they certainly know how to make women feel subordinate! If a man truly loves a woman he will walk then ends of the earth for her and vice versa! I lived with a woman hater for years! Thinks women get by with too much in this world and it was so frustrating. Sometimes I think that I need a man for just one thing.....I have yet to find a man that is genuine and appreciates a woman's virtue, so in conclusion we should be zoomin' the men!

normally I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole but I just gotta! First of all...any man who thinks women are the weaker sex is a fool. a man that says he understands a woman is a lire. The fact of the matter is...most mens ego's get in the way of their brains and say crap that make's them feel better or at least until she dumps him then it's oh woo-is me:( I had three women truck drivers working for me and if I had it my way...I would have had all 27 semi's filled with women.they're better drivers than men and THEY DO THEIR PAPER WORK! sorry, I'm back lol. Ladies... your sitting on the world we want and we know that every other man feels the same way. A man that truly loves and respects a woman is a man that will do anything for her because it makes HIM feel good and you women out there shouldn't settle for anything less. Thank you for letting me vent! lol :)

This is a first. I NEVER answer questions to which 19 responses have already been given; but I feel so strongly about this that I cannot pass it by. I think Golemann is an idiot.....well, okay, maybe not an idiot, but he is definitely a demagogue. People who think people with Ph.D's are close to infallible are wrong. I should know; I have one; it's not in psychology so he, and perhaps your readers, will discount anything I have to say . Golemann confuses emotions with intelligence and instinct. They are not the same. He lists social skill as one of his four facets of "emotional intelligence". Social skills are taught. Eminy's right: "men are TAUGHT to suck it up," and women have an INSTINCTIVE drive to nurture which has nothing to do with intellect. I am sure one of his assertions is right: his bell curves overlap. I believe the extent to which they overlap will vary greatly depending upon the culture used to postulate his assertions. I suspect he hasn't mentioned that aspect of his analysis because he has no data concerning the topic, nor does he mention the deviation or number of subjects used in the study. Just as there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity, there is a danger in defining what intelligence is and how it differs from emotional response and instinct. You would think I would be used to simplistic generalizations regarding sexual differences posted on this sight and no longer be bothered by them. I suppose it's a commentary on my lack of emotional intelligence that I haven't.

Good anthropological question. The society we live in has applied symbolism to every aspect of the opposite sex; women are seen as "passive" and men "active" do to language and ideas (i. e. the sperm and the egg) and this transcends all aspects of life. In short, we're all just brainwashed.

The men are probably saying this because most of the girls I know give in.
