It's both, especially as we see in the US right now where they are floating the idea of going back to single household voting, with their words being the man would consult with his household prior to casting his vote.

But we also have to recognize that statistically women and men differ, and Estrogen vs Testosterone levels in either gender alter your reaction to events.

And its not all negative, women often have far more empathy for people then men do. And if you have read any account of women on testosterone it changes their personality where they become aggressive and feel a dull sense of rage all day.

We see the same differences in genders in a clinical diagnoses of BPD which has an emotional dysregulation component. 75% are women, the rest men. And women often take the intense emotions out on themselves, while a man is more likely to become physically violent from the same triggering of emotion.

We need to put more effort into understanding the differences between people, and less base lining that all behaviours have to match a man who's dead inside.

A wise mind is when logic and emotions are considered, before deciding action.

See, I get the best of both worlds by being physically violent towards myself
