I dunno. I guess it depends on how you define emotional instability. Usually when I think of the word "unstable" I think someone who could just f*cking snap and while women have a reputation for being moody it's very rare that women get picked up by cops for smashing someone's face into a sidewalk which for a lot of guys is just a typical tuesday.

It may be corny as hell, but for me, being the one to have the opportunity to actually physically bring a life into the world is the best bit about being female. Man, I am broody as fuck As for the points bought up earlier about having to shave and having to wear make up, I don't feel that I have to, but I do it because I want to. It just feels.... Nice. It's very rare I'll leave the house without at least some mascara on (I'm lucky enough that my hair is short and curly so actually needs NO tending to at all, giving more time on concentrating on not poking myself in the eye with eyeliner), but strangely, I'll willingly walk to the shop in my pyjamas. I'm too lazy to get dressed to go and buy a newspaper, but God forbid I make my PJ trek to the shop with no make up on!

^ I've never thought of it that way, but the way you put it puts it into a completely different perspective. Child birth is something I dont really think about, seeing as I dont currently have plans to be getting pregnant. But the way you talk about it makes it sound really rather lovely. Its very sweet.

Actually, that could very well be, and it's a good point to ponder. Again, it was something I had read in studies regarding oxytocin. |

It's not corny and you're not broody. I agree with you. Having my kids was the best thing that ever happened to me. Even with the physical pain of childbirth, the worry about them over the years (I'm a big worrier!), the challenges of divorced single parenthood - it has all been worth it and I would go through it all ten times over.

I remember seeing a study where they tested lab rats by injecting hormones that men and women feel into the rats and seeing how they respond. The female rats were much more susceptible to hormonal imbalance than the male rats. Like, the male rats' reactions to high testosterone levels were nowhere near as severe as the female rats' reactions to female hormone levels. It was a really interesting study, I wish I could find it on the net but I can't.

I have to agree with Ribbons that the human condition is equally miserable for everyone. But still the likelyhood of a guy deciding that a great way to start the day is to shoot up a mall full of people with an uzi is greater than if a women were to do the same thing. Women may have an issue with balance but they seem to be better at coping with stressful and painful life conditions than men. Women wisely don't try to bottle up their emotions, men do and that's what makes them go apesh*t. |

Well it's lovely AFTER it's done and over with.
Just not during the actual process. |
