Like I said above, I know a whole boatload of women who crack at any kind of emotional situation and pretty much become completely helpless until someone (usually me) gives them a wakeup call and a hand in dealing with it. This ranges from people with completely normal homelives and no real work stress, all the way to people with racist drunkard parents who will actualyl start an argument for no reason then kick their own flesh and blood into the street just because they know she'll ring me to get put up for the night.
Its not a matter of being used to jack **** or more innately able to deal with it. I haven't been through jack compared to that second friend, but i'll be damned if it isn't always me who deals with ****ty situations more rationally and effectively, and has more experience and tact being the consoling friend. And thats not jack **** to do with being a man it just means I don't crack as easily as she does.
So right out the window goes your 'womens emotional strength surpasses mens' argument.
But whatever, this is just a big ol' can of worms with an argument for EACH AND EVERY counterargument.
I'll just leave with this: Equality between the sexes sure as hell doesn't exist yet, but I see a damned sight more equality around when people just get the **** on with life and don't think about the damned war these arguments always encourage.
