alright dude, i'll give you a shot and bite on this.
i would imagine you're pretty young based on some of your posts, so you're probably pretty confused about just about everything. maybe we can learn from eachother.
i do see where you're coming from. for the most part, feminist bullshit drives me just as crazy as pulling the race card. i feel like both of those reflect poorly on that specific gender or race.
but your original post:
is not only scientifically false, it also comes across as arrogant. we live in a society that thrives on equality and diversity. are these things force fed to us? yes. can it be annoying at times? yes.
maybe we're trying to make up for the thousands of years that women and people of color were not granted the same rights as the white male. obviously, those times are pretty far behind us and maybe society should get over it and not even bring race or gender into the equation. i feel like that would be real progress, but i'm a white male so what the fuck do i know about how people of color and women feel about years of oppression?
what i do know is that i try to treat everyone as an equal, even if divirsity initiatives tend to annoy me.
to say that women don't have the emotional strength of men is probably a valid question from someone who doesn't have much experience with the opposite sex. it's easy to say ignorant comments like "oh, she must be on the rag" or "all women are bat shit crazy". but really, that way of thinking only makes you look like the one that is insecure and/or unstable. is it fun to joke with the opposite sex about these social stigmas? sure, but your post was posing a serious question so i'm trying to stay on point here.
are you still with me young grasshopper?
in my own experiences i've met plenty of crazy ass women and plenty of crazy as dudes. as i mentioned in my earlier post, my wife is my rock. that's why i married her.
so in closing, men are from mars and women are from venus. we have totally different characteristics both mentally and physically. but as you mentioned, we do typically mesh pretty well together. however, to say that women are not as emotionally stable as men is down right absurd. our brains are all different, but gender doesn't have a hell of a lot to do with it. life experiences and how we choose to handle them are what shape our emotional stability. of course, i'm talking about healthy men and women and not those with acutal mental problems.
i'm glad we could have this talk. i have no idea why i just wrote all of that.

Ok genius, also relevent would be the country you live in, the income level, religion, how many partners you've had, how old your parents were when they procreated, bodyfat %, self image of yourself, the number of friends you have, and on and on and on...
