Do you feel one group is more emotional? And is the belief that women are more emotional spread by men?

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Yep! A woman's bad day could cause disruption. A man's bad day could lead to people dying. Oversimplification obviously.
This also might have less to do with the conception of violence within the mind of a person having a “bad day” and the ability of that person to carry out vilolence in a way that effects more people: ie physical strength and an interest and availability of weapons.
Much of it is, yes, ability to commit the violence. It leads to a feedback effect. Men can commit violence more easily with less harm, so they do. The act of doing it validates it so they do it again. This becomes encoded as "manly' behaviour in society so now it's expected. When it's expected, it leads to more such violent expression and the feedback loop continues.
It's really eye-opening, incidentally, to live in a country with different markers of masculinity that are culturally enforced. You don't get a lot of wall punching here, for example. Shouting, sure. But not physical displays. Because physical displays of anger, etc. are frowned upon and get you shunned.
