Are men as emotional as women
Are men as emotional as women?
For some reason this has become a debateable issue.
Maybe it's in this modern era where different things are more acceptable and people's mentalities have also changed. With those changes in mentalities men have become slightly more feminine and female have become slightly more masculine. Who knows..
This day and age, people are thinking men are as emotional as women. People are also thinking that having sex with animals is ok. <- You can quess my stance.
If possible there would be 3 different issues to be addressed:
Is the 'mixing' of genders more apparent in the West, which can lead to this conclusion
Is it more acceptable in the western societies (for men to be emotional)
I think that Middle Eastern men are more emotional than women. I mean, they hold hands and kiss each other on the cheek and if you piss them off, women will just stop talking to you for days on end, Middle Eastern men will blow you and themselves up ;)
Men and Women have significant differences between them, but they are both human. Emotion if one of the defining characteristics of humanity, and to say that men are less emotional is almost like saying they are less human. We are equally emotional but express our emotions differently because of innate psychological features as well as conditioning.
The confusion that leads people to say that women are more emotional is that we commonly misunderstand what constitutes an emotion, and ignore that emotion takes various forms.
Because our culture conditions us to believe that men should not be as emotional, that is exactly how we see men. We men are even good at ignoring our own emotions, or rationalizing them so that they seem like logic instead of feeling.
Well now i have to change my mind as it seems KINDA has the ability to go off like i do. SO come on kinda, have your emotional little name-calling outburst of rage and lets you and i set the example for your debate.OR are you still sulking over the fact that im all over your sexist/racial/bias dysfunctions?
As far as sex with animals go KINDA, do you masterbate?Whats your bitter affection for everyone who has had a fortunate life?Where does your homophobic disposition dwell?Now i spose i shouldnt dilly dally about with someone who is less mature than a fetus.....afterall i wouldnt want to make the bastard cry.
lolololol proof your as emotional as women kinda-you pre-banned me from a debate.Another racial debate...why? I know i banned you for being a dickhead in an active debate ,but, i didnt even get to touch your last debate!!lololololmfao what are you afraid of ?Its not like ive been nasty to you wherever you go..care for a tissue..its ok youll get over it....:)
lolol how funny...ok. But why?,did you ban me from "that" debate.What are you afraid of ?........btw,........wtf..dinner at this time of night?..its fukn midnight!!...get your own fukn dinner !
btw --- " A MAN SHOULD REMAIN A MAN AND YET BECOME A WOMAN; SIMILARILY A WOMAN SHOULD REMAIN A WOMAN YET BECOME A MAN!"---GHANDI------i agree with ghandi on this one.
oh poor wittle baby getting all upset , he gotta downpoint like his kicking my shin,,,oh boo bloody hoo ,you emotional little tanty thrower , here i will take this point for you. GEE and you really reckon men arent emotional as women ....this is too funny.
Whether they are as emotional or not doesn't even matter, even if they are, men can set their emotions aside and use their brains to think. Women can't make decisions an have horrid emotional intelligences...hence the term bitch. Women out of an evolutionary need to protect themselves don't know how or when to let things slide and when they have gone too far or said something out of line.
,,,,,thats why most cases if not all cases ,of fuckd crazy persons losing the plot and going into their workplace or into public places and shooting people up are men......Yeah us women open our mouths too much ,much to the disapointment of male chauvanistic pigs. Its funny how the men get to dictate that they are the superior race above women. Yeah thats right........ men like that are just emotional spoilt little brats who have been bred with an arsehole ego. , usually suffering from the hand of their equally arsehole fathers. Some mothers ought to have had the sense to smack the father into line and weedle out this sexist bullshit and reared their sons into better men OOOPS sorry .....silly girl me..... stupid woman.....i just spoke out of line ........no doubt ....according to some man.
You didn't speak out of line, your just wrong. To try and use crazy men shooting up their work place as part of some argument, see how your emotions take over your common sense...what a stupid thing to say. There's extremes for everything, I think it's safe to say men are more athletic than women. As there are no women in professional sports...MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, MLL, NFL etc... Its like you trying to argue against that statement and say there are some women that are more athletic than some men in the world...good job finding an exception, men are more athletic than women still holds true regardless. Just like men are smarter than women, Ooooo bet that makes your blood boil. I bet it's hard to think straight and logically. There's no women in the top 250 Chess players, that doesn't take anything but brain power if your argument was gonna be men are just built bigger. Good thats a advantage, just like being built smarter. Men rule, stop trying to rationalize and face the facts.
GEE whos blood is boiling ? If im just a stupid woman. ....why are you getting so nosey-out-of-jointy ,over a post that had nil to do with you....,What a dumbass.........................and an emotional little sook........................................................"As there are no women in professional sports"....huh what ?...You dumb man!...... "There's no women in the top 250 Chess players"---WHOOPY FUCKING DO...................................................... "Men rule, stop trying to rationalize and face the facts."......How can anyone rationalize with someone who has a dick for a brain. ........................................................................................................................................"To try and use crazy men shooting up their work place as part of some argument, see how your emotions take over your common sense...what a stupid thing to say. "-----WHAT A STUPID THING TO SAY------Maybe you should leave your gun at home today ; You sound a bit emotional..............................................ps so i guess its emotional women , and not men that must be downvoting all my posts when they dont like what i write...men arent as emotional as women....ha, yeh right.
I'm observing an awful lot of emotion from your arguments. it doesn't really help your case when you're arguing that your gender is less emotional when your arguments are filled with them.
NOTE: I do not like the filth that you men inspire me to drivel. But however , i find it quite amusing that when i lower my self to your level , you all cant take what you dish out.EG; THIS DEBATE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. I will never be a bitch on a chain , in some arsholes kitchen , Ive made that mistake , I wont make it again. The hide and the cheek of this un-gentlemen , can emotionally screw with a naive ladies head. You dont like my balls , me neither ,their minute , You can have them back , after all , your the man , But you cant have my spine.I am woman. I endure far more than any man. Hows about we reverse the roles and sit back and watch you pop a bub out your hole.:)
A study was done by a feminist psychologist who said that men were as emotional as women, they just don't express their emotions.
This is not part of the mainstream view of male brain vs. female brain, though. While men do have emotions, they are not as strong within men as they are within women. Female biologists and psychologists even agree (not all, probably, but most that I have met). This is because of the 50,000 more connections between the left and right hemispheres of the female brain. It is hard for them to NOT let emotions get in the way. Men are much more simple minded. It's either one or the other. Women don't like direct answers, they prefer outward, emotional answers (basically, not a full answer, just dancing). This is why men tend to be more for Violence as the answer while women tend to be the pacifists (although, there is the alter-ego within women, they love peace, but they love torturing other women and men). It all has to do with emotions.
Although, I do believe that women should be treated as equals, but we surely don't have to view them as such. They are women, we are men. We have many differences and must accept them in order to be happy. If we try to VIEW each other as equals, we'll only confuse and piss each other off since we'll never understand how another human being can think so god damn differently. Here's why, they're WOMEN.
"Comprehension demands an active intellectual process of listening to another party while trying to figure out,from a short burst of sounds,the other's meaning and intent-both of which are always imperfectly conveyed.Production,by contrast,is simple.We know what we think and what we wish to mean.We dont have to figure out "what it is we mean",only how to say it.By contrast,when we listen to someone else, we not only have to determine what the other person is saying,but also what he or she means by what it is said,without the insider's knowledge that the speaker has"-Sue Savage-Rumbaugh-1994-ref-How Brains Think-William.h.calvin.....MY ANSWER-NO,....maybe if men were subjected to the same hormones as women they'd be just as emotional.HOWEVER -some men in fact do have female hormones and vice versa so i guess this is where you get women like me who appear to have bigger balls than some men...:)...also id rather people cut the crap and be honest than fancy me with fluff.
I like your point that we should not treat everyone as though they are the same, while we should indeed treat them as equals. We need to respect the differences between men and women rather than try to dissolve them.
However, I have to argue that men ARE as emotional as women, but express their emotions in different ways. We can't ignore social conditioning, which in our culture dictates that men should be less emotional than women. However, I think there are legitimate differences in the way our emotions are expressed. The predispositions towards pacifism and violence you mentioned are both emotionally-driven.
Surely you don't mean to argue that pacifism is usually illogical and violence is usually logical? If so, you have my applause for an impressive show of cynicism. I don't see how such a categorization is plausible.
For example, Gandhi and MLK's pacifism seemed motivated by the logic that violence would likely harm the greater meaning of their respective causes. Sure, compassion is a component, but I'd say it's far from the only factor, as you suggest.
Meanwhile, countless acts of violence are motivated each day by emotions such as anger, depression, or fear.
I would be willing to bet that most acts of violence are not preceded by a careful analysis of what is the "best answer", as you phrase it, but rather by a knee-jerk reaction to one of the emotions listed above.
I agree! While it could be argued that COMPLETE pacifism is emotion-driven and illogical(not sure I would agree, but you could argue it effectively), the ideas of non-violence as a solution can be very logical. Another reason for less violence is that violence usually causes retaliation, and often a cycle. And the more advanced weapons get, the more collateral damage will exist, and the greater chance exists of inadvertently causing ones OWN destruction through a cycle of violence(nuclear weapons are a perfect example; countries with nuclear weapons really have to try to get along now, since a war would do more harm to BOTH countries than either would be willing to allow).
Besides, the ideals of compassion are logical; most people would like to live in a world in which they get the help and love they need. If a person wants this, he/she should try to further these ideas.
I agree that men and women(that is, the majority of men and women; there are exceptions) think differently than each other, but why would that make them unequal? Equality and sameness are not the same thing.
It varies on the type of man. If your man is pretty feminine obviously so. Some can be complete jerks and not give a rats butt. Some just have a nonchalant point of view like "Oh that kitty died ok" "That little girl lost her dog ok"
In most cases only emotional time would be if somebody close died/left them.
Other than that, no, I want to see a man cry in a movie theater to a chick-flick.
