Are Females naturally emotional fragile or?

Question

is it a Society based mentality? To me it seems that because most males posses physical strenght over women, society tries to attribute the physical strenght to their emotions, thus creating an image of pyshical and emotional strenght. The same with females, but are females naturally more emotional fragile or does it have to do with this mentality?

Answer 1

Men are logical , Women are emotional .

Answer 2

I am a 19 year old female, and I have strong beliefs and am mentally strong, but emotionally I believe that females are a little fragile. We display our emotions more and wear our hearts on our sleeves. That's why it's usually us crying in the movie theatre or when we are PMSing we are an emotional wreck sometimes! I think women tend to be more stress-filled and more high strung than men. Not all, but most men are more calm and laid-back.

Answer 3

I don't think women are more emotionally fragile then men are. I think that it is the differences in our expressions of those emotions that are different, and those are certainly influenced by society.

Men and women have the same capacity for emotion and the same "strength" of them, but men in our society feel they cannot be demonstrative of those emotions due to social pressure. There is less of that on most women, giving the appearance that women are "fragile" or "weak."

I think that there is evidence of this, as well; if a woman is placed into a situation where intense demonstrations of emotion would be a detriment (such as being the CEO of a law firm, being a surgeon, or being a firefighter) they are as capable as men as being "emotionally strong."

Answer 4

Won't win no popularity contest with this one. But I've studied
metaphysics which says there are two aspects to the Lifeforce.
One flowing to us, and one back to the Source.
I also read a book about the differnces between men and women,
by a psychiatrist, and put them together.
The feminine aspect flows from the Source outward and is therefore more expansive.
I think this causes individuals that are dominantly feminine, and
there are masculine women and feminine men mind you. They
have a tendency to make THEMSELVES feel smaller than
they are. Just like the masculine is more direct, and dominantly
masculine people have an "exaggerated" sense of self.

Answer 5

Your assumptions are well founded, and firstly religion, then literature have helped expand this philosophy, though it is very flawed. Men who act physically can cause damage and therefore need to believe they are doing this out of some deep rooted emotional justice, yet women often have to make the really tough emotional decisions, regarding family and their childrens welfare. Women are generally better at understanding their emotional impulses than men, and as true heroism and strength is to face fear and conquer it, women may in fact be the emotionally stronger sex, as well as the better looking.
It's a thankless task being a man.

Answer 6

Men are as emotionally as if not more fragile as women. If they have a bad emotional experience early in their adult life, they become very jaded and guarded. That is just the nature of men. Therefore I believe women are the stronger in working through a bad emotional experience.

Answer 7

I think its a cultural thing. Women are expected to behave in a certain manner. It makes men feel like they're all powerful and really calling the shots. For instance, some woman in your life probably intimated to you that you were somehow a deep thinker whereas your question infers that you're a gender biased dolt. Women are the civilizing force in this world, they make it a nicer place, we should be in awe. Not during a football game of course, but we should be in awe.

Answer 8

Yes, I think typically females are more emotionally fragile because they are usually more "in touch" with their emotions than men. But I'm sure it's not true for every woman, I know some pretty hard *** bitches.

Answer 9

i think it has to do with mentality. woman may cry easier, but they are more aware of their emotions and can handle more emotional stress. it seems like men break down more severely with physical symptoms related to stress or just have a complete crisis. of course, this is my opinion as a woman. but, the men i know love to be babied they are sick.

Answer 10

we're not more emotionally fragile, you are falling into the mistake that just because we tend to show emotions more, that we are weaker, when in fact it is much better to show your emotion than keep it bottled up. why do you think there are more men committing violent emotional offences? seems to me that men are more fragile.
