Was in class the other day and my Interpersonal Communication's Professor was discussing how men and women differ in showing and expressing their emotions in extreme times.
It was her take, as well as the book's, that we tend to either cry or get furious when we get emotional. That most women were the type to show their emotions in a sense of crying where as men would show the EXACT SAME emotion by getting mad and yelling. Both were the same internal feeling but the way that men are socially taught to be...shows trend to the anger instead of the crying...because men are "supposed to be tough".
I think back at times when I am extremely emotional about something taking place in my life and I feel like either crying or getting fighting mad...yet I tend to cry.
Any thoughts on this subject and how men and women differ as well as show our emotions?
