How are women mentally tough? prove to me?

Question

so lets say a women gets attacked. apparently, the reason they scream is because they got caught off guard. ok fair enough, now tell me, why doesnt a man do that? women are the ones supposedly mentally tougher and able to handle the pressure (as has been said by people who try and justify the reasons why women arent physically tough) but just tell me how many men would scream like a little girl and flail around when they are attacked. this supposed mental toughness is complete bollocks. when it comes down to when it counts, when your life is at risk, women certainly do not have the physical or mentally ability to cope.

Answer 1

Who told you woman are more mentally stronger?  That's complete bull.

Women are more emotionally sensitive than men.  Men don't react the way women do to sudden danger because they know they can handle themselves more.

The parasympathetic system is all the same for men and women.  They both detect danger, their heart rate increases, alertness increases, and both prepare for the threat.  How they mentally know they can handle it is what varies.  Men are stronger and are ready to fight.  Women would feel more vulnerable and scared.

Maybe you should recheck your sources.  You seem to have a very bad idea of what fortitude is.

Answer 2

You are making generalizations based on stereotype.  I think the screaming thing may be physiological though.  A low voice make fewer sounds when exhaled in fright.  A woman with a low voice would scream less than one with a high voice, and the same for men.

Answer 3

if i were attacked, i would scream so that someone would notice. i would also start kicking and biting and hitting and flailing around so this man would either get hurt, or have a hard time holding onto me.  

Answer 4

Almost all women are mentally tough and almost all men are not.

i)  If there were no safe-s*x, and if men were to give birth to children, only a very few men would be ready for s*x !

ii)  We have heard of 'hen-pecked' husbands. Ever heard of 'rooster-pecked' wives ?

Answer 5

Whoever told you that women were mentally tougher in areas of fear?

Fear like any emotion varies from person to person, some people have a natural ability to remain calm in dire situations. While others need training to help deal with emotions like fear.

Testosterone plays a role in fear, for example unconscious fear (such as being startled). Men have higher levels of testosterone, making them not only more aggressive by nature and generally are able to deal with fearful situations easier.

But this is all general, ultimately how people deal with extreme emotions will vary from person to person.
