It's a tendence, that indeed exists, but no way a rule. There were female scientists in the history of course, there were female philosophers.
That is very sad, that I don't remember all the names of them, but to list some examples.
In ancient Greece a woman with name... had inherited and has led sucessfully the pythagorean school after Pythagoras death.
By development of the calculations for the first mission of moon landing some black women with names... had the most major influence and role by doing maths and by supporting the mission with computational engine calculations.
Sofia Kovalevskaja was a renown russian mathematician
Marie Curie doesn't need special introduction I guess.
The new scientific studies show furthermore that in ability to apply logical thinking or to learn taken alone there is no difference between female and male brain. The only difference that is significant in the context is the inclination of women to be more emotional and to concentrate less, that is, in my opinion, indeed extant if we take the average case.00 Reply

+1 yNo, that's ridiculous douchebaggery. Anyone who believes women "can't use logic" is ironically extremely ignorant and clearly an emotionally biased misogynist. And men who go on and on about how oh so rational they supposedly are, are nothing but cringy, obnoxious smartasses who get super easily triggered. There's a user on here with the username "RationalMale". Could he be any cringier? "Look at me I'm a MAN! That's why I'm so RATIONAL! I'm so rational it makes me super MANLY!!!" Criiingyyyy...
And just to be clear, many women also perpetuate this by agreeing.39 Reply- +1 y

YouTube is full of self-proclaimed "rationalists" who are basically nothing but reactionary sexists who've learned how articulate themselves properly to make themselves sound intelligent. This is the problem with today's world of internet information - it's not about how true, factual, or accurate the content is, it's about how well made, how well articulated, and how emotionally appealing the content is. If it LOOKS and SOUNDS logical, it must be true. That's how reactionary YouTube assholes persuade the masses and make them believe their views are the "rational" ones. So be careful with YouTube content.

the comment section on that video were of sexists saying stuff that they agree with the video. and if a woman starts crying you shouldn't care about them and just go to a bar. women can bottle up their feelings but their illogical mind is always there. and women can be dumped and the guy wouldn't care if he loved her he would just say whos next in line? that his girlfriend knows this and it helps her keep a level head.

+1 yI used to think that when I was younger but life has taught me otherwise. Seriously, I have a grudge against all those films that taught me that men are logical and cold. I spent my late teens/early adulthood treating guys quite badly because I expected them to rationalise everything and not have emotion. I was thrown off to see that most guys I met actually made a lot of stupid, irrational decisions. Most of them also expressed emotion way more often than me. They cried, they hit things, they raged. To me that was just crazy, it was nothing like movies. I used to find it fascinating and just stare at a guy if he started crying or raging. But luckily, slowly I grew aware that these ideas of what men should be like are unrealistic and grew sympathetic to men having feelings. I still sometimes struggle coming to terms with how emotional men are, especially when it comes to expressing that emotion surplus in violence/anger. But at least I don’t expect them to act like robots and treat them much better than before.

It's no secret that women are much more emotional than men ON AVERAGE, and more likely to become emotional about even minor problems. The plus side is that women have much more empathy than men generally do, which is why they are better at caring for (domesticated) animals and children - and why that was "women's work" for many thousands of years, and why "men's work" consisted of the dangerous stuff and the hard physical labor.
Men have always needed to control their emotions - if you start crying or panic while, say, hunting dangerous game, or working in a mine, or during dangerous construction, or while attacking an enemy in battle, well, you probably won't live long enough to reproduce, and so the men who could contain their emotions tended to be the ones who passed on their genes.
Obviously, there have always been exceptions: a small percentage of women who were more logical and less emotional, and a small percentage of men who were the opposite. Women rarely were part of militaries, but we certainly know there were a few who were, and had success.
In the last few generations, there has been much less need, on average, for men to be so universally tough, and for women to be universally emotional, and so you're starting to see more tough women and emotional men than we used to. Still, the generalization remains largely true that women are much more emotional than men, while men tend to be more logical and practical. Like any generalization, there will be exceptions.33 Reply- +1 y

2.9K opinions shared on Other topic. No. Men are also capable of being emotional and behaving in illogical ways, and women are capable of thinking logically, too. What I don't understand is why people assume that being emotional goes hand in hand with being emotional?
I can be a pretty emotional person. I don't mind showing my emotions, whether I'm happy, sad, frustrated, angry, apathetic... having and showing a wide range of emotions doesn't mean that I'm not capable of thinking logically. Example: I've had a couple of arguments with my boyfriend. The both of us have gotten emotional. The both of us have cried during said arguments. It has felt intense. But the both of us have also been capable of taking a step back from the argument. Once we've talked it out and said what we felt like we needed to get said, we've been able to move on. We've still clearly been processing the argument internally, it's not like flipping a switch and going from sadness to happiness in a second just because we both decided to stop arguing. But we've also come to the conclusion that this argument is not something that should destroy our relationship, and that we should do our best to simply go back to normal.
Ergo, we were both emotional and logical at the same time. If anything, I think a balance is needed in order to be truly logical. You need to be able to understand your own emotions (and other people's emotions) in order to make informed and logical decisions. Likewise, not understanding your own emotions (or even trying to suppress them) means that you might end up making some really damaging and illogical decisions.
I think of it as yin and yang. You can't be logical without understanding emotions, and you can't be emotional in a healthy and safe way without being logical about it.11 Reply- 688 opinions shared on Other topic.
+1 yTo some degree that is true but not to the extent you are describing. It's more precise and accurate to say more men are logical and more logical than woman are logical. I recently had a question trying to probe why is the number billionaire and their ratio largely skewed (or biased) towards woman (or against). There were no answers that I would really regard as insightful. My perception as to why it is, is that men have had an inherent evolutionary tendancy built into them to try and have more accurate perspection of reality (smart in modern terms) while also bieng active to some extent while there was not that much of a requirement in woman. What gets incentivized it is what eventually happens (if you give enough time). As to why such a tendency was developed I presume it's because how reproduction works in humans, note : while most of the reproductive burden is on the woman it is more rational for her to be or act troubled by losing the/a partner thus she is more emotional and would like a 'stable' partner to provide at least within that period/timeframe of child bieng born and bieng in the period where it is unable to protect itself while it is in the incentive of a male to jump as many partners as possible and for that he has to survive in an actively hostile environment which required smarts. The people who were able to reproduce the mosf also survived the longest which took the most smarts while similar behaviour was not really necessary or accessable or even an option to a female/woman/girl as bieng in a tough situation while in the reproductive scenario basically meant a death sentence, she couldn't afford to reject thus also the probable reason for bieng submisive and nor the human reproductive system evolving to a better degree to give her shorter periods for reproduction.

+1 yOnly people who can't comprehend complex things feel the need to treat groups of people according to their generalisations. Your biological gender isn't an indicator of anything that can be inside your head. Sure, women and men may tend to have a bit different personalities due to hormones. The way you were raised as a child has an influence as well. However, "tend" and "are" have different meanings. The first one talks about a great number of the individuals from having specific caracteristics, the second one implies all of them are like that.
Also, being more emotional and empathetic doesn't make you stupid as those are indicators of high interpersonal intelligence. Men aren't smarter than women in general, they just tend to have different types of intelligence proeminent compared to women. And thinking logically and being emotional aren't mutually exclusive. You can think logically and still be very emotional.
Also, men who think you belong in the kitchen aren't worth your attention unless you agree with them.00 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yThis is the biggest lie and not even supported by any credible research I've ever found. What they have found is that women are more in touch with their emotions. That basically means women are more self-aware, introspective, and expressive of their emotions. But even that isn't necessarily the whole story. Men are encouraged to display certain emotions and discouraged from displaying others. For example, they're known to be more violent or have angry outbursts, fight each other more than women usually do, etc. They follow the rules of what emotions are allowed for men.
But men are emotional afffff. I actually think men are more sensitive, probably due being discouraged from understanding/thinking about their emotions, in addition to some nature factors.
I've seen way too much deep insecurity, violent outbursts, anger, sadness, happiness, passion, etc. from men. These are all emotions/emotional reactions.
And most men aren't that great at logical reasoning, at least not to the point of sound logic, in my experience. They may reason through what "makes sense" to them, rather than through empathy or what not, but that's not really the same thing as "not being emotional" or being a superior logical thinker. One can have superior logic to someone like this and still express a range of emotions. Many women are like this, in my experience.00 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 ySounds like a bunch of boomers holding onto old ideologies. Men and women can be equally logical OR emotional. I’ve been around plenty of whiny men and women, and it’s equally just as unpleasant.
I don't know why people still think half of this stuff they do. If you just use your head and observe human behavior, we’re all the same. We’re just conditioned to handle ourselves differently a lot of times but we all feel the same things. Some people can tolerate a lot of frustrations, some can’t, doesn’t matter the gender.

+1 yI think women are more emotional, but only because society conditions men to not express their own. I’m sure men feel all the same feelings that we do, we just don’t express them or address them in the same ways. But just because we are more emotional doesn’t mean we’re incapable of setting our feelings aside and making logical decisions. We are definitely capable of math, engineering, and more.
Also it’s completely reasonable for someone to be upset about their home burning down. Logically speaking, it’s just a house and you can always move somewhere else. But it can be terrifying having to experience a house fire, and you could lose thousands of dollars worth of property, and I’m sure a home has some sentimental value attached to it. It’s a distressing experience.31 Reply- +1 y
"only because society conditions men to not express their own"
That plus our biology. These gender stereotypes come from our innate tendencies anyway, and these differences are influenced heavily by hormones. Many FtM trans-sexuals who take testosterone therapy mention that they notice that they feel less emotionally expressive quite quickly after taking it in comparison to before. A change in the hormonal balance changes the way they feel and think. We experience the same emotions but process them differently.
That is sexist and toxic. Look around you and tell me where men today are 'rational'? They're worse than women. Very few men today have a brain just like women. Women and men are very much capable of being rational. It is a personality thing. Not a gender thing. There is nothing wrong with a woman being in the kitchen but not every woman is able to cook no matter how much education she gets. Some women like me can gravitate to engineer and create. I just don't like all the math, but I do know some math is required. I say those are men who are intimidated by women because those men are dumb and stupid. If men were logical, they wouldn't be having baby mommas and baby drama. Again, women aren't better either. But smart people are just smart, dumb do dumb, and foolish do foolishness.

+1 yNo. It's all about tenancies. Women tend to be more emotional than men due to brain physiology (something about the amygdala and whatnot). Add to that, the hormonal profiles of men and women have significant effects on their behaviors. On top of all of that, add the fact that societies tend to reinforce gender-prevalent behaviors.
Summary:
1. The brains of women and men are slightly different; therefore women tend to be more emotional.
2. The kind of hormones men and women have are different, and have different effects on their behavior.
3. Society encourages men and women to behave in certain ways.20 ReplyIt's a silly stereotype which has no basis except in anecdotes (and anecdotal "evidence" isn't evidence at all, because you can use it to prove anything on either side of any issue) and is not worth giving much attention to, in my opinion.
Although just fyi, I'm not saying there isn't a difference in how men and women deal with emotions on average. That's a more complex question. One that can actually be investigated by science as well, by the way. But average differences between sexes are usually smaller than individual differences within sexes (and that's actually backed up by science, unlike anecdotal bullshit).
I just hope people stop thinking in this stereotypes and start judging people as individuals. But I'm guessing that's hoping in vain.20 Reply6.3K opinions shared on Other topic. I'd say emotion is part of a girls biology. It's a myth to say all girls can't think logically based in their emotions simply based on the female scientists. Science is logic. Now I still believe each gender has a biological part to them and I think on average women do have and show more emotion than men. It's not a bad thing but where the myth comes into play is that emotions run a whole girls life and that's not true. But I am also unless on men having more logic than women but I do feel that men might have a stronger focus. I feel that women can think about many things at once where men tend focus one thing at a time and both have advantages and disadvantages to them. But that I would see more than logic
10 Reply4.7K opinions shared on Other topic. I would say that is very true indeed. As a man I do think the same and that is something that I find it totally repulsive in a woman.
However, I do find certain qualities, thinking about women as appealing also. For ex, the fact that they love teddy bears indicates their sweet side, their willingness for peace and their readiness to show love and affection on things that are cute to them.
The fact that they give importance to honesty and truthfulness and also that they want a man to be honest with them, irrespective of whether the man is their friend, acquaintance or more.10 ReplyI think there are strengths and weaknesses to both conditions. The ideal combination is somewhere in the middle. My parents were a great example, my late father was very logical, strong, get things done while my mother is very emotional, put her arms around you and let you cry, they were the perfect team in a crisis, the amount of times people turned to them for help was numerous.

+1 yThe comments section of YouTube is a cesspool. I would take pretty much anything said on there with a grain of salt.
However, it is true that women tend to be more emotional while men tend to be more logical, though there are exceptions to the rule and it's not as black and white as those people are making it out to be. Women are still capable of using logic and men still have emotions, it's just that one tends to be more dominant with a specific gender.
As for why, I think it's the way nature wired us.
As far as being too dumb to excel academically or possess the intelligence to succeed in a certain field though, I don't think that is true at all. That very much widely varies from person to person regardless of gender. I actually think genetics and upbringing, as well as access to education, have more to do with that than anything.00 Reply No. Both traits can be learned. It just takes some self-awareness. Most of these stereotypes are socialized. What happens if a boy cries? He’s called girly and soft. What happens if a girl is outspoken? She’s called rude and loud. Kids usually get molded into these “gender roles” before they’re able to choose who they want to be. By the time they’re able to it’s already part of their core personality. They won’t change unless they’re aware and have a desire to change.
Anyway. The guys in your video are just a product of what I just explained. They believe what they said because they were raised in a way that led them to think that way. But thoughts don’t equal reality. You decide who you want to be. Your gender doesn’t.00 Reply
+1 yI'm acing my intro to deductive logic class, and I'm majoring in philosophy, so gee I sure hope I can do it.
In the class it's been about even (as far as I can tell) between boys and girls that do well vs struggle. There's even a pretty even number of boys and girls in the class in whole; maybe a few more boys, but not too many more.
If I had to guess-- which I don't-- I'd say having emotions and having mental capacity are not mutually exclusive. You can be a very emotional person and have the self awareness and self control to react rationally to a situation, provided you understand that you do not need to let an emotion control you in order to experience it.
And that being said, emotions and logical thinking are both at least in part learned behavior. They aren't, at least in their entirety, genetic or specific to either gender. If you think I'm wrong, please try and correct me.00 ReplyNo. In fact, psychologists & neurolinguists say Thought is about 99% emotional (based on love, hate, religion, etc.). All people fall prey to their emotions at times. Logic, however, is a skill that takes intelligence & an understanding of how logic works. Even intelligent people may not have a grasp of logic (for others it may come intuitively), and there are many; e. g. Ben Carson, MD. Many women are intelligent, and, if they learn logic, can use it. No one is entirely logical all the time.
30 ReplyI definitely disagree with the youtuber. I believe both are capable of both. I do believe men rely more on cold logic and women more on feelings, but I do not believe one acts one way all the time. I've met women who stayed calm and kept me centered when I was losing my cool. I've met women who saved my ass in math, science and other logical pursuits. I've done the same for other women. I believe women are better at dealing with emotions on average while men on average are better at keeping logic at the front of their brain in trying times, but I do not believe one gender is better than the other at either one. If that makes sense.

Especially in the modern day when college is viewed as a scam by many. It's expensive and people with a degree often end up working the same jobs as those without one. As far as STEM goes:
"Research has shown that, to the contrary, it’s the stereotypes themselves—along with factors like test-taking anxiety, social norms, and the discomfiting experience of being a girl in male-dominated environments—that play a role in dissuading girls from pursuing careers in STEM."

As a biological fact, then yes, the avarage woman is MORE emotional than the avarage man, and the avarage man is MORE logical than the avarage woman, but it says nothing about an individual and does not refer to everyone. Even if someone tends to be more on the emotional side than the logical one, that does not make them incapable of thinking logically in any way. Keep in mind as well that emotional reactions to things are not necessarily inferior to the logical approach, it always depends on the situation and what's needed.

+1 yI've learned it's hard wired into our brains. men keep thoughts either on one side (lobe) or the other. women use both halves and therefore have a tendency to connect emotions to experiences. that's why women generally can remember experiences a lot better than men can, cuz it's connected to a feeling. this isn't a socially constructed stereotype, they have brain scans, it's science. anyways, I'd say in general, men are innately logical and have to learn to be emotional. women are generally innately emotional and learn to use logic. that's the difference. they both have their pros and cons.
00 ReplyThat is so so so sexist and honestly just way too general to make sense at this point in the world there is so much diversity in sexuality, culture, upbringing, etc. You can never say men are ALWAYS one way and women are ALWAYS another because that means you’re saying half the entire population is this certain way just based off the simple fact of their gender without knowing anything else about the person.
20 ReplyI think women are more emotional, from an evolutionary perspective this is useful for raising children, whilst men (in the past obviously) had to use more logic and less emotions to hunt or protect their family from dangers, for example.

Brain structure. Women have more neural connections from right to left of the braim. While men have more from back to front. The result is that women are more empathetic and have better social intuition. While men have better logical thinking skills and better strategic/spacial awareness.

So if women are so emotional and can't think logically because we get upset easier about stuff and go overboard and are called "Crazy Bitches" why are we not the ones killing everyone all the time and how come if we are illogical and emotional that it's only 10% of women who kill and shit?

here's a simple way of putting it women are emotionally logical, men are logically emotional.
You act like you can't be logical and emotional at the same time. Everyone has emotions unless they are psychotic. All this comment does is spread sexism. The "women aren't logical" argument has stopped women from having the right vote or to own property. It also makes men believe that they are supposed to act like a brick wall.

@_inkRat When people say they are being logical, they often are just using emotion. Liberals and conservatives often base their world views on a gut feeling they have. And as for solving math problems, how does emtion get in the way. Do you see a difficult math problem and start crying?

Usually men use logic to work though the emotions that hinder progress while being productive at the same time. Women usually need to take the time to feel what they need to before moving forward. Men, Real Men; just dont have that luxury.
Women voting rights is the perfect example of logic vs emotion. The "women aren't logical" argument was just one tiny thought turned into an emotional talking point in women the case not being able to vote. The biggest thing standing in the way back then was the fact that once you were registered to vote you were registered for the draft, back then you couldn't have one without the other. So ill end with a question. If women are logical why do so many get defensive to the statement "women aren't logical"? - +1 y
@cyclopspanda cause I dont like being looked down on as weak pathetic. and can't think. Maybe if I said all men are evil vile emotionless soulless monsters who prey on women and think women should bow down at their feet and women are just fuck and throw away because logic says who gives a fuck I'm a man and i need to stick it in some fresh meat sometimes. and you werent like that it piss you off.

No one is looking down on you or at least im not. there's nothing wrong with being emotional it has its place. I love women im just saying its a fact that women react on emotions first then logic comes in gradually and often has to be introduced by a man, not always but usually. Also its a fact that men are the opposite, sometimes showing so much logic that we may need a woman to show us things from an emotional perspective not always but like i said there's a place for that. Thats the way it has always been.

@_inkRat so what emotions make you human.
- +1 y
@Maldesia00 I dont know what makes human human. I just know that it is in our nature to have emotions, and that they dont like to work well with logic. @Keekee333 asked about math, witch is great question, and i would say answer is in pure logical problems like math emotions dont play any role. But when you add more to it, selling stocks, some situation where logic and emotions are in play or even break up, logic doesn't mix well with emotions. In math problems you don risk losing or gaining something, but when there is a risk, there are also emotions. In such situations logic and being able to bury emotions will help.

@_inkRat and how is that always a bad thing?
I think in all my years of experience I've only personally came across two women who I'd deem as being more logical than emotional, though even they thought they were too emotional.
I've came across lots of men who are more emotional than logical, and lot's of men who are more logical than emotional.
So yeah... get back in the kitchen, and all that.00 Reply1.6K opinions shared on Other topic. I mean it's not like women are incapable of using any logic at all. But yes from what I've learned in school women are more emotional.
They have higher potential of going through mood swings and in fact if you're on the pill I think one of the side effects is mood swings.
I mean there's a reason why so many women talk about their feelings so much.00 Reply- 2.1K opinions shared on Other topic.
+1 yI would say that a woman's logic is tempered more by emotions than men.. But on that same token, saying that women aren't capible of logic is just wrong..
Now statistically its women, and low T men that push this agenda that feelings matter more than facts, and push leftist ideals.. Not all women. But lots of them..00 Reply What I don't understand is why people assume that being emotional goes hand in hand with being illogical

apparently men think before they act when they get upset. and women never do therefore women are illogical

thanks for what? I wasn't agreeing with what i said just telling you what some guys say
That's stupid, but my woman drill sergeant went emotional on my ass when she was kicking it, just because I made a mistake and called her sit instead of ma'am. I wish she would of had logic and said, oh that's ok trainnee every one makes mistakes".
Oh by the way, my coworker is a Russian female electronics engineer.02 Reply- +1 y
I feel like that is her having anger management problems tbh
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI always let my mind decide and never let my emotions take control, however i've met some extremely emotional men who doesn't think for one second, cries and acts extremely emotional or otherwise passive agressive refusing to admit they're upset.
So no, that's a stereotype based on women supposed to be emotional...00 ReplyI think this perspective is black or white and, in life, most things are not black or white, they are shades of grey. Both men and women are logical and emotional. This varies depending on the individual. Sure, on average, women are more emotional than men while men tend to be more attached to rationality but it's just a tendency and, ultimately, it depends on the individual.
00 ReplyIn general it verrys from person to person, some people are just more emotional than others. Like how others are more cold. But in general women tend to be more connected to their emotions while men tend to be more driven by efficiency. Which is why men tend to lack in interior decorating but generally strive for efficiency. (There are exceptions and this isn't always the case, but this is what my encounters tend to show)

+1 yNo women can act logical too of course.
Do women in general get more emotional and can cry easier then men? Maybe. This could be due to how we were taught how to express our feelings (nurture) as well as hormones as well.00 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yThose guys you quoted are assholes, and they are not representative of most guys.
Of course women are capable of logic, and men are capable of emotion. However, on average, men tend to think a little more logically and a little less emotionally than women. That is a pretty well accepted fact. But the difference isn't that big.10 Reply2.1K opinions shared on Other topic. A normal person is never completely logical nor emotional. Feminine energy is related to emotions and chaos why masculine energy is related to order and logic. Each individual cycles through those energies every day.

+1 yNo 😂 no one is always one thing. I can have more logic than lot of men 💪 and lot of men can have more emotion than me. Hate is emotion and I see some men angry all the time at something. It is about the person and not whole gender.

Keyphrase is tend to be.
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yIt is absolutely true. Women tend to be a lot more emotional than us men since we are logical to things especially when we try to help women. I got heavily pushed away from a friend for being logical to her about what she can do to feel better or to stop doing this act with every guy she dates that always ends wrong by getting played and everything. When I'm really just supporting herself. Not that I'm trying to solve her problems but only explaining what she can do

+1 yLol, I have met very cold woman who are capable of thinking more logically than most men I know. I've also met emotional women who make better decisions than me. My sister's an engineer and she has emotion but I don't know if I'd call her the most logical person in the world. I also know plenty of guys who are emotional. Honestly I think girls just get a bad rap.
00 Reply425 opinions shared on Other topic. Honestly, I am a little bit of both. I do think with my heart, but i always try to reason it out and think logically. What scenarios and situations would be best for me. Which one is better, and what will work to my advantage.
00 ReplyI think you’re over exaggerating. There are tons of men out there who are immature , make rash decisions, can’t admit it when they are wrong , can’t take criticism. You are giving them way too much credit than they deserve

+1 yI just know i'm gonna get slapped for this... but oh well.. i feel women are ruled by emotions where men tend to be not logical.. but rational. Keeping things in their proper perspective. At the end of the day.. what was list? What was gained? Was the expense worth the gain? Or lack thereof?
00 ReplyI don't think that's most men at all, that's just a niche of a certain breed of right wing (not your average republican mind you, some alt light/mgtow/mra blend. Was the guy yogi oabs btw?

I said "yep all men are so much more logical that's why they are more likely to commit murder over a disagreement cause logic says it's okay to kill another human being cause you lost your cool." I didn't get a response to my comment on YouTube yet lol. I looked on the FBI website looked up the crime rate of men and women and found that only 10% of women kill people while 90% are men who kill more men then women. So sexists say women are very emotional and can't think logically. So if women are so emotional and can't think logically because we get upset easier about stuff and go overboard and are called "Crazy Bitches" why are we not the ones killing everyone all the time and how come if we are illogical and emotional that it's only 10% of women who kill and shit?

Yes. I reply when people say men are more logical as if that's true, why are more men in prisons if they are more rational when the rational thing to do is to avoid jail and prison.
