The ancient Hindu books on psychology say that women in
general excell in body and men in general excell in mind.
It is a known fact that most of the men are either thin or
fatty. Most of the women are balanced according to their
heights. Very few women in history were called intellectuals.
"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional mind, the other
of the rational mind. In a very real sense we have two minds, one
that thinks and one that feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional
Intelligence, Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8).
The Upanishads say that men excell in Manas (rational mind)
and women excell in Chitta (emotional mind).
Chitta is the component connected with intuition.
Modern psychologists say that passions have the same
limitations of senses as they tend toward immediate
emotional discharge. Chitta is the quick acting
component of the mind which can be termed as leftist or
negative thinking part. It is called negative because
some psychologists felt that it separates the received
information into pieces, contains unintentional and
contradictory ideas, and lacks internal organisation,
inner consistency, and concrete solutions. On the
contrary, some philosophers thought that this is the
'idealistic view' of thinking about a problem. Chitta
is connected with instincts, urges, impulses, desires,
emotion, imagination, sentiments, passions, caring,
exploration, unconventional ideas, moods, insight,
superstitions, immodesty, analysis of details, concern
about particular features, capacity to find novel
relationships, unrestrained expressions connected with
body or mind, molding of past experiences into new
constellations of meanings and the like.
Manas is the component connected with reason. It is a
slow acting component of the mind. We know that most of
the people are quick to act on desires, but are slow to
learn something consciously. The working of Manas can
be termed as the rightist or positive thinking part. On
the contrary, some philosophers say that such a method
based on reason alone is a 'mechanistic view' of
thinking about a problem. Manas is the conscious
component of mind which grasps of the essentials, tries
to solve the problem using simplification, and provides
an abstract model. Manas means reason, logic,
synthesis, and rationality. The nature of Manas changes
with each and every perception and it's understanding.
Manas helps a person to speak correctly and to do
complex mathematical calculations. Manas is connected
with conscious thoughts like doubting, examination,
foresight, interpretation, common sense, general
structures, coherent ideas, holistic approach,
planning, tactics, strategies, ambition, cunning,
morality, disciplined systematic thinking, enveloping
thoughts, craving to do some physical work,
duty-mindedness, synthesis, combining, ethics, and the
like.

I don't know about them being tougher... but when it comes to women I think they have smaller sense of self. Like they are more willing to sacrafice something they want to do, to do something for someone they love and be completely happy doing it. Ya know what I mean?

No,, I think women tend to think things through more carefully than men.
We tend to simplify everything,, sometimes to our detriment. Women tend to over complicate things occasionally to their detriment.
Example: If a guy walks in the door after a hard days work and says, " Honey I think I would like pizza tonight."
what he really means is: Honey I would like pizza tonight.
A woman walks in the door after a hard days work says the same thing. What she really means is;
I have had a hell of a day, I am tired, I really don't feel like cooking or eating anything complicated, so pizza will save alot of work and nagging.

The pregnancy thing is definitely a tie breaker. On the other hand, full blown combat can be tuff.

Yes. It is easier for most women to see different sides of life's issues and deal with them without freaking out.
