“Women, on average, are more unreasonable & emotional than men.” Agree or disagree?

Disagree.

Anger is an emotion.
For some reason, all the men who constantly harp on "Oh, women are soooo emotional," never seem to perceive Anger as an emotion.

In my experience:
- the worst offenders of road rage are men. The driver who kept on my lane and would block my way forward even when I switched to the next lane, which was empty at the time? A man. Men also tend to yell and swear at other drivers a lot more than women.
Clearly, these men are very emotional.

- I've seen more than a few men get angry when they're arguing with their significant others. So much so that one of them punched a wall with his bare fist (ouch), another brought an entire bookcase down (I can only imagine the hassle of putting all those books back up), and one even kicked his soccer ball toward this partner, in frustration and anger.
Clearly, these men are very emotional.

- No need to go further than the Internet. The amount of men out there who are angry at the entire female population on Earth - just because they were scorned by a handful - is legion. They roam in packs, these angry men, denigrating women everywhere their virtual footpath takes them, saying how women want them for their money, how women betrayed them, and how they want nothing to do with women - yet somehow, still finding a lot of time in their lives ranting about women, ironically.
Clearly, these men are very emotional.

- No need to dive into the details of war, which I believe are always started by men, and acts of violence and crime. Look no further than today's COVID-19, where the number of men who beat up poor old defenseless Asian men who were just minding their own business and splashing acid on Asian women who were just minding their own business and taking out the trash. Don't they know that if they physically attack other people, they're actually INCREASING their chances of contracting the virus they're afraid of? I know there have been cases of women being rude, but by and large, women don't go around beating up defenseless old men and splashing acid on other women.
Clearly, a case of Emotions winning out over logic.
Clearly, these men are very emotional.

So, there you have it.
Men are just as emotional as women.
The only difference is that unlike women, they're ALLOWED to get angry.
No one will call them less of a man if they angry, unlike the social penalties inflicted on women who get angry.
You might say that this is a corollary of men being shamed when they decide to show grief or sadness - and you would be right.
Still doesn't change the fact that many men out there do get angry and show it in public far more often than women.

Yes. They are biologically more emotional (greater nerve density and activity in the amygdala and greater white matter which means its harder to compartmentalize thoughts and feelings).

They are also less likely to be taught to control their emotions unlike men who are expected to have absolute control over their emotional responses (this is not the same as repressing emotions as so many feminists try to claim. You cannot be a leader and be to afraid to lead, you cannot protect others if your frightened, you cannot let your anger control you when your bigger and stronger then half the population (that would lead to a very destructive society), you cannot work with others if your to busy being vindictive and spiteful (which is actually why men work together better then women do), etc.).

In addition, women are not held accountable for their actions which allows them to be more emotional and impulsive because if something goes wrong they will not suffer a significant punishment for it (hence women being 160% less likely to be convicted of a crime and when they are getting only a third of the sentence a man does for the same crime, and why childsupport and alimony is paid overwhelmingly by men to women and not the other way around even if the woman is the cause of the divorce (either filing for it or cheating). So when your never held accountable for your actions and your never really punished for wrong doing you are just training the person to be as impulsive as possible and emotional as possible.

I second what my friend Hellion said.

@Physics-Man Thank you!

As a straight female, I have found most (not all) men to be extremely hypocritical in this 'unreasonable and emotional' field. For example, they will most often call women unreasonable and emotional for reacting to things that would make them feel the same way. Many times in my life men have called me overemotional, yet when the tables were turned they actually reacted worse (flipping tables, punching walls , fell into depression ext..). So I think its a myth and I have 0 clue why men constantly need to tell women they're too emotional. I think more times than not, it's a crutch they use to justify shitty actions. Some people just want to say and do whatever they feel like, when they feel like and then us 'emotional people' are just supposed to smile and take it or risk being called unreasonable. Luckily I am now with someone who has a lot more self awareness than that. The majority, if not all the men I had met before my boyfriend were hotheads with 0 self awareness, who broke doors and got jealous over male friends, while they acted like trash themselves.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, lol, but I actually have to agree. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule and it really does depend on each individual person, but if we're talking on average, then I think yes.

I've noticed that a lot of women tend to think more emotionally vs. logically, and I think it's in part due to our nurturing nature. Sometimes they can get too caught up in emotion or what they feel things SHOULD be like rather than how they ARE. While of course we should strive as a society to be better, some people focus too much on trying to change how specific people think and act, and unfortunately there's not much you can do about other people. The best you can do is realize the way life is and how certain things always have been and always will be (such as the fact that there will unfortunately always be evil in the world) and do the best you can to work with what we have.

However, this does not mean that women don't have the ABILITY to think logically and reasonably, or that they don't, of course.

[OlderAndWiser]

That is my experience, but I am completely heterosexual and don't have the same level of experience with men.

[ineedatan]

I'd say both genders are equally the same. Both harbor and go though various emotions that can cause them to act out irrationally. I know and have see males lash out physically and talk smack. I also know and have seen females cause drama and talk trash.

[alice55]

Disagree, men have lots of anger and "ego" problem, they lash out much more easily than women and get in trouble for it women know how to control their anger / frustration much better.
Though women show their sadness and happiness more easily.
So it's a though things.

[madgoat]

They are said to be generally higher in agreeableness which might imply they are also more reasonable.
Society tolerates women demonstrating more emotion than men. Dunno if that means they are naturally more emotional or not.

[MCheetah]

You'd have to be disingenuous or a massive cuck to disagree with this. Even women know this is true. It doesn't make women "bad" or anything; it just is how they are.

[Liz_thorne]

I've never seen any argument for women more emotional in men that it not an anectdote and/or based itself in emotional generalizations and assumptions.

[FreyaRed]

On average women and men are similar emotionally stable/unstable. It's more socially acceptable for girls to show their emotional lability

[TheFlak38]

this is an observable fact. You just can't discuss with a woman. All you can do is either constrain her freedom and prevent her from fucking things up or just walk away and let the world burn.

[JDavid25]

I don't think either gender has the monopoly on unreasonability.. Now maybe a bit more emotional I agree with that..

[_SOARER]

Unreasonable... haha definitely women!
Emotional... I actually think men are more emotional we just are better at controlling them.

[JosyJosy]

Yes and no, depending on the individual. I've met some drama queens, sure but when a man's ego has been broken, they can throw a tantrum as well

[Anti-Matter]

Man-Wo+man... No different in those senses. We're all faulty ass
humans.

[JosyJosy]

@Anti-Matter yeah to me the only difference is like the physical superiority

[MCheetah]

@JosyJosy
But the question asks which are usually MORE LIKELY to do so. There are exceptions to every rule.

[scarlett774]

Disagree, the only people saying woman are emotional and complaining about it happen to be men...

[RolandCuthbert]

If you use GaG as a guide, you come to complete opposite impression.

[Physics-Man]

Women on average are generally more emotional. It's part of their genetics for the most part, and a minority of it due to social conditioning and environment.

[Snakeyes7]

I honestly have no idea. It is true that men and women are wired differently but the changes are barely noticeable.

[Rob17792]

[Don-_-Don]

Then they're on thier periods perhaps.

[JCT666]

Most of the time, yes.

Gender doesn’t matter. Race doesn’t matter.
