    Who cares? Seriously. Others will read it.

    Others will also notice that instead of dealing with the topic you choose instead to make
    a belittling personal remark.

    What do you suppose that, and the habit of making things up says about the quality of your thoughts?

    Yes , but preferring one sex over another as a boss is sexist.

    that you subjectively claimed that women are emotionally stronger? no, because dealing in speculation when you present it as fact is like telling the wall to quit being a wall.

    Please post YOUR scientific proof that men are emotionally stronger than women.
    Then explain why they have more suicides if they're emotionally stronger than women.

    I made no such claim... i merely scoffed at you saying it's a fact that women are.

    Then you have never experienced severe depression or thoughts of suicide before.

    http://www.suicide.org/suicide-is-not-a-selfish-act.html

    Most people who attempt suicide or consider it are suffering from mental illness such as severe depression, I know as I have experienced it before. I can understand that this issue makes people angry and the thought of their loved ones taking their lives selfishly or cowardly enrages them, but you have to understand it's not to make anyone else upset or angry and it's certainly not done out of cowardice or selfishness. It is simply a response to one suffering on a daily basis and trying to cope with that pain until ultimately they can no longer stand it.

    Sounds like she really loves you and its very sweet.

    When I become intensely ill due to crippling and severe menstrual cramps every month my man always fawns over me making sure I have everything I need. It's real affection when your lover shows how much they care about you like that, in sickness and in health as the saying goes. =)

    My guy does the dishes all the time...and cleans the house regularly, but that's more due to his OCD about cleanliness than anything else. lol

    So, you believe there are biological differences between how men's brains and women's brains work???

    Since you believe women are psychologically, "stronger," than men, and as evidence women committ suicide much less often than men, surely you must also believe men are inherently better at math and science than women, since 93% of the Nobel Prizes that have been won have been won by men-RIGHT???

    Oh really??? So what do you think accounts for the fact that 93% of the Nobel Prizes that have been won, have been won by men if it's not biology???

    First off, how many times has the Nobel Prize been given out and what for?

    I wouldn't exactly call it a good standard or measure of who is smarter than who in any situation.

    Plus I feel like you'd be the first one to jump up and conclude that this prize can certainly be affected by such things as political correctness, after all the prize is awarded to people by other people.

    funny how you attribute higher suicide to men's shortcomings... but when it's shown men win more nobel prizes.... you denounce it as not a good standard....

    convenient feminism....

    Post 40 provides a link to psychology today.

    There is no science in the claim or the link

    I have found by experience that Woman tend to be mentally stronger than men and although Men on average are Physically stronger than Women Men are NOT capable of withstanding the same level of pain as women are.

    I have seen this in the field as over 2 decades ago I and my Team were sent in to extract an American Woman Soldier who had severe injuries.

    Because of a mistake I made I was with this woman and we got separated from the rest of my Team.

    She was badly hurt and bleeding internally and she saw that I would have no chance getting her out myself and told me to leave her there. I am not ashamed to admit I have a tear in my eye right now writing this as what she told me to do was one of the bravest self sacrificing things I have EVER seen a person do.

    Fortunately our luck changed about 10 minutes later and I was able to carry her to the extraction point....but she cared more about me than she did about herself and I believe I have posted about this once before on this forum.

    The injuries she had I KNOW would have made any Man moaning in agony and the Doctors told me later how I was able to even move her as just to do this would have put her in EXTREME AGONY....yet she barely made a PEEP when I carried her out.

    I might have gotten her out of there but SHE SAVED MY LIFE....by not moaning or screaming in pain as the injuries she had and the fact I could not put her out as to do so would have made getting her out impossible...were so bad I don't know how she dealt with the pain.

    When did I EVER say that men have a higher suicide rate due to their shortcomings? If anything I have done more to defend men and their rights and the fact that they have their own fair share of sufferings in this thread.

    You seem to be attributing a post I did not make to me.

    I would never tell a family or anyone who has suffered or experienced the emotional loss due to suicide something as HORRIBLE as that. I have stood by the fact that suicide is generally due to one suffering from severe mental illness at the time of death.

    And what I said about the Nobel Prize is true. It is simply not a good measure of who is smarter than whom in any category. All it shows are certain persons making great accomplishments for humankind, but even then it is arbitrary and can most certainly be affected by the social views of society in the time it's given. Like now when women's rights is still such a big thing, would it not surprise you if the Nobel Prize were given to women because it is socially acceptable to do so? Because it puts them in a better light for recognizing women's accomplishments?

    Would you be surprised if the Nobel Prize started being granted to gay people regularly since that is a huge social issue right now?

    I'm sure if you look at the historical trend of how people are selected to be given the prize you'll find it has a lot to do with the social views of the day.

    Actually....I very much almost decided to put a bullet in my head as once a long time ago because of EGO, ARROGANCE and a feeling I was BULLET PROOF....I was on a JOB with members of my Team...as I sometimes work with members of the U.S. and Canadian Military and I lead a Team I hand pick but once I make a huge mistake.

    We were DEEP in country and I was shot at close range several times. We prepare for such possibilities but I SHOULD have seen it coming but I didn't. Most likely because I had a 100% success rate prior to this and something I SHOULD have sniffed out I did not.

    I went down hard and I always make certain to have a few Barrett .50 Cal's ready to open up which they did but I and my 2nd were up front and exposed and what was perhaps 5 seconds seemed like an eternity.

    My 2nd was on his stomach firing and I was on my side and I grabbed my rifle and balanced it on part of my 2nd's body and ENDED the SOB who shot me....he was hiding behind a boulder and all it took was for him to PEEK.

    The rest of my Team finished up and THANK GOD none of them got shot or hurt because of my idiocy!!!

    THEN....the PAIN hit me and I had never or have ever since felt agony like that. I was deep in country....this was an OBVIOUS SET UP....we were hours away on foot from an extraction point....and this was obviously a case of THEM shooting some of us but not KILLING US...or in this case KILLING ME...because if that SOB wanted to he could have aimed at my head....but he PURPOSELY shot me in the chest and not in the heart and not in a vital organ.

    The PURPOSE of this is to wound one or two and cause the whole group to be slowed down getting out and they intended to follow and watch where we might go to perhaps a village where they could find any collaborators or find an Munition Cashes and I KNEW that was what was going on....but they had made the mistake of not knowing we set up several days before a meet and greet so we had our snipers hidden 2 full days before they even scoped out the area.

    At that point I took a Half Dose of Synth-Morph because a full dose would put me out and I needed to WALK and the pain was so bad...well...a person get's to a point where pain can be so bad that a person would rather DIE than LIVE.

    And YES....at that moment I thought about putting my SIG to my head and blowing my brains out as YES...DEPRESSED is definitely a word I would use!!!

    But I KNEW....I was the one that screwed up and I was the one that was responsible for my Team and what I can only describe as the worse day of my life....I forced myself with the help of my Team Members to walk out of there and it is a good thing I did because I changed up our protocols understanding they would be looking for us where they thought I would go as I would NEVER cross open area....but I DID in this case and it saved all our lives.

    So...YES...I know what it is like to be depressed and I really WANTED TO DIE!!!

    But...I screwed up....I needed to fix things.

    I am happy that you have someone like I do in your life.

    This is why I KNOW that when either men or women label the other sex as BAD or UNFAIR....I KNOW that such a person labeling went on one bad date too many.

    There are Men and Women in the world who care about each other and have no need to dominate each other unless we are talking about a Sex Game for fun.
