I read this articel, title listed above, and it was a vast myriad of generalisations about women. Men are by far more viloent and ill-tempered than women. Now, some supposed researchers claims that a study of some women in europe proves something about this subject. Most of the women I know do not fit this profile AT ALL? What do you ladies out there-worldwide think of this article on Yahoo's front page? Why does everything have to have its origin in the body. How about manners/ Self-dicspline? Maturity levels. Narcsissism? Bi-polars undiagnosed? There are dozens of reseaons women could be ill-tempered. And if this is true, why is it, men commit the violent crimes?

As a female, i feel insulted when people justify my anger towards them as just the 'monthlies'. There are many possible reasons why women are 'less' cranky than males.
We are who we are, by our social environment. they say we are who we are from our parents, and people we've lived with in our life. Some people lived with aggressive caregivers, and were born to be aggressive, and perhaps more cranky..
Males have more testostorone, XY not XX), missing part of the X may have had some genuine emotional genes)
The idea that males are more violent and ill tempered gives men an opportunity to act and behave like that. Psychological theory, if u think they're violent, and ill tempered, and they know that u think that, then they'll just behave exactly like that.
Its just about thought!!

The reason commit More violent crimes (women do too), is because of many factors and not just testosterone. I have taken a media class that dealt with how women and men are portrayed by the media, and I am taking a violence in the workplace class now, which I had a discussion of talking about why men commit more violent crimes than women. I watched a video called Tough Guise: the media and it explains a lot. I don't feel like spending a ton of time going through everything so I will show some links. The "Mask" of masculinity.

Providing a link would help generate more answers and improve your credibility.
EDIT: Thank you for citing the source article.
From a research perspective, the findings are useful for identifying women at risk for heart disease and other serious illnesses.
From a behavioral perspective, I can see people using it as an excuse for not taking personal responsibility for their actions – and legal ramifications could follow. Imagine an assault case comes to trial and the accused (a hostile woman) uses this research as part of her defense!
I did not see the “vast myriad of generalisations about women” you described. Bu I do agree that an organic source of hostility does not justify violent behavior.

If you haven't figured it out yet some believe they are exempt from taking the blame for and dealing with their own issues.
Take, for instance, the fact that not too long ago men were institutionalizing their wives to cover up their barbaric behavior....now many are just going to out-patient services(wink). Who do you think came up with all the psychobabble in the first place? Here's a hint: they were confused and not feeling well spiritually themselves.

You can prove any probabilities with statistics.
Why would we believe that what works for a small sample of human beings applies to all of Humanity?
And yes, I would say the same for any statistically "proven" studies about men. People cannot be categorized.
Good luck.

Thats old news really :-)). But not all are like that. Some are nice and sweet others are cranky to the extreme. Just take a look at his board.
The main problem is soo many women stay stuck in a stage of infantility where they refuse to excert self control and over some weird entitelment ideas they got out of feminism they think they have the right to do so.

My GENES don't make me cranky.
My JEANS make me cranky. Dang it, they won't zip again ...
Seriously, I saw the article and I was mildly annoyed. The focus is on just a small percentage of women that may or may not be cranky because of their genetic profile.
It's another way of diminishing womens' experiences. How often does a woman who is (justifiably) angry get told that it's "just PMS?" or "just hormones?"

This was a study about WOMEN..
Not how they compare to men...
It was a good , relevant & informative study...

I think it's hormones or the lack of hormones.
