Which is not to say that we should promote the idea that women are less able to deal with words online & should be protected from them.
-
Women are also known to cry more & suffer from depression more. Yet men are more likely to commit suicide. Early stages of research suggest
-
that crying is a very useful tool to deal better with negative emotions. Emotional tears seem to contain different chemical make-up.
-
Could be that women have more negative emotions, but also better equipped to deal with them & not in as much need of protection as ppl think
-
IIRC, men more likely to *succeed* at suicide b/c they choose more lethal methods (e.g. guns vs pills) Women more likely to *attempt*.
-
Ws wrtg follow up tweet but too early & nothg makes sense. IIRC women try kill self at 2:1 male r8 but male attempts succeed at 4:1 female.
-
Such cases can also be symptom of BPD. Not of depression. So would be result of different emotions. But agree, not unimportant.

Mostly from other men, of course. The workplace is largely combative, thought not necessarily harmful. Butt heads, move on. Nothing personal
-
That's not a cultural construct either. Its a manifestation of the same gender difference.
-
No argument from me there.

Perhaps not in people who are gen x or older. But, in millennials, you're far more likely to see harmful or hurtful from either sex. 1/2

I don't lay that just at the feet of feminist though. It's more society as a whole. Similar to the "Little Emperors" in China. 2/2

Probably technology amplifying aspect of human psychology.The mainstream acceptance of victim narrative prob symptom not cause.

I think more a difference in (please forgive the term) 'lived experience' between the sexes. Men cop worse abuse in real life than online.
