are men more sensitive and emotional than women?

I believe they are. The vast majority of the great works of art in history were created by men. Even today when women have the same opportunities as men to become artists, men still lead the way. There are also a lot of "false positives" on the art scene, especially in music, where female singers have male writers write their song for them.

I see two major causes to the general belief that women are more emotional than men. First of all, and it has been stated many times by prominent MGTOWs, we are told to hide our feelings and shut up about them. A "real man" is an automaton. He needs to work to death for his wife and his children. There is no place for expressed emotions and when he dares show them after getting his life ruined through divorce or worse, he gets either ostracized or he is being fed brain damaging medication to treat his so-called depression.

One could argue that men are encouraged to be more emotional. We’ve seen that a few years ago with the metrosexual trend and many women today say they are looking for a guy who shows his emotions (we’ve all heard that one before). However, I think this is not a valid counter-argument. These trends do not intend to have the man show his true emotions but rather to have him display emotions generally associated with the female gender. We are told to display the same emotions as women do in similar situations, not our own. With the metrosexual trend, we were supposed to display our love for shopping and the way we looked. Remember the first ad you saw about male make-up…

The same could be said about the women who want an emotional partner. 75% of my class is composed of females and I’ve heard them babbling about that since I started my degree. They always want a guy who cries alongside them when they watch The Notebook or one that will gossip about the friends they have in common. Never have I heard them say that they want him to tell them when they are getting on his nerves or, let’s say, how desperate he is at work.

The second cause I see to women being generally believed to be more emotional is the way we differently react to stressful or extreme situations. Here’s an example. A few years ago my ex and I shared a flat. One night, while having dinner, we noticed a fairly big spider on the wall. My ex went batshit crazy. She screamed and moved to the other room while yelling at me to kill it. I was also quite scared, but I did the rational thing by trapping the spider and moving it outside. I wouldn’t say I was any less frightened than her ( I really was, I’m very scared of those things) but here’s the thing: I reacted productively in a stressful situation. That’s the point I want to make. Men are naturally designed to be more effective in these types of situation. We may be scared or shocked, but we react rationally while women do absolutely nothing of worth. It is perceived as a lack of emotions but this is often far from the truth.
