'Why so sensitive??'
'Alamark! You're behaving like a woman! So sensitive and emo!'
Have you been commented like that before?
I'm always curious to find out. Which gender is more sensitive?
I'm sure the answer will unanimously be females. I would hold true to this option if it's referring to woman in the baby boomers generation. But in the Gen-Y, there might be a different story to tell.
The males in this generation are not like the ones in the past. They too feel for things and cry too. No, they are not gays nor sissy-s. They are just less assertive and try to understand and see things in a wider perspective. (woman, we must respect and applaud this change in man)
So are the males and females of Gen-Y equally as sensitive?
I think it's depends on what holds deeply in each person that if we comment about it, it will result in a negative response.. Overall as male or female is hard to comment bec each person character and interest are different from one another..
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure abt sensitive but I think both genders are equal when it comes to being emotional. And by emotional, I mean experiencing some kind of emotional reactions like being angry or bring jealous and not just the stereotypical being sensitive which often leads to crying (yes usually women).
ReplyDeleteI think men and women handle and cope with situations differently. Women cry when they are angry because it usually quickly translates into a disappointed feeling which would then lead to tearing. Men on the other hand are usually quicker to get angry (hence more temper problems for the men rather than the women).
So I think both are equally emotional and sensitive. Just different expressions.
