Why are women portrayed as the more compassionate and empathetic s*x, when many of them act so catty and..?

Question

bitchy with one another and men?

Answer 1

I ain't going to go there.  I ain't as dumb as I look.

Answer 2

You'll change your mind after you graduate and meet real women.

Answer 3

Women are more cooperative, men more competitive.  Teenage girls are sometimes catty, teenage boys sometimes moronic.

Answer 4

It depends on how people respect one another.  I've known some bitchy men but if men and women can't respect other people then i'd hardly call them compassionate.

Answer 5

Because woman uncorrupted is compassionate and empathetic... They always emphasze people in their pure form.

Answer 6

i dunno...though I'm not catty..i'm pretty cold

perhaps the stereotype comes from generations of women being like second class people and having to be submissive

Answer 7

Because they are sneakier than men.

When a man does something horrible the whole world sees the destruction and suffering in the wake of his actions.

However, when a woman does something horrible, she paints herself as a "victim" or "confused" or "having no choice because of the situation" or "driven to do it". In other words, "innocent". SO people think women only do bad things when MEN push them to it. Ironically, the OPPOSITE is often true.

Answer 8

Will depend on the woman and the man.

Compassion does not come from gender but from putting yourself in the other person shoes and caring. A feat that both men and women can do.
