Oh my, men are not less emotional than women and here is another little secret they gossip just as much as women. People sometimes freeze up when they are stressed and scared male or female. There are many stories from WWII about that and they were all about males. One never knows how they will react in a situation until they have experienced it and generally the more bravado the more dysfunctional when afraid. Women work as nurses in ERs and in critical care where they sweat blood daily and encounter sights on human bodies that most people would pass out from, along with having to sometimes deal with a psychopathic surgeon. This requires the ability to calmly take action in chaos. I was taught by a great cardiothoracic surgeon (not a psychopath) that to solve problems both male and female brains are required, male brains zero in on the problem and female brains see the whole picture. We used this method when patients were crashing and the reason was not evident, it was beautiful.
