Do men naturally lack more self control than women?

Question

Especially when it comes down to sexuality, fighting, emotional control, etc? Sure women get upset, but spinning into a rage and shooting up a highschool is not something usually associated with feminity.

Answer 1

I think men naturally lack a lot of things compared to women. Not gender arrogance though.

Answer 2

Not the women I know, they could pass for men with the way they conduct themselves.

Leah chick and mixed chick, I'll have you two girls know I don't chase white girls nor do I even play flirty with the girls. Stop with the generalization and stereotype you have us black men under.

Answer 3

a. when you say 'lack more' you mean they have less, right?

Its called the Y chromosome. Only men have it.  Makes a man a man. Puts the whole violence thing built right into your brain. Thousands of years of evolution picked men out to be the fighters and the hunters, while the women looked after the children (unless you believe in creation, to which the answer would be: because god made man that way). Called social Darwinism. Put one way, one man can keep a whole village full of women running, the other way just doesn't work (women only can have one mate at a time, while men can have as many as they want). More competitiveness over mates ensues, making men more prone to violence.  

Answer 4

not true cause some girls i know are easy and always gettin into fights matter of fact i know some girls in gangs  

Answer 5

It's all down to the testosterone making them do crazy and irrational things sometimes x

Answer 6

i think thats what they would like us to believe. they have just as much self control as we do. they just choose not to control themselves.

Answer 7

I don't think it's that they lack self control, or are incapable of using it. I think what it boils down to is anger. Men and women anger in different ways, and we react to that anger in different ways. Perhaps a woman internalizes it while a man takes it out on his environment. Everyone is different.

Personally, I think it's in the nature of men to be more dominant and thus be more aggressive, but if men lacked self control entirely, they'd be little better than grunting animals. Although, I imagine there are people who say that's already the case.

Answer 8

Certianly not.

There is no such thing as "we were hard wired that way"

The fact of the matter is, boys and girls are socialised differently. From a young age we encourage boys to be tough and buy them toy guns, super man suits and compliment them with a "your a big strong boy"

From a young age girls are given dolls, pans n pot and complimented with a "your a pretty little girl" speeches.

Hw we deal with emotion, how we show it and use it is determined by these factors.
