An emotion-driven woman is a shrieking monster. True...

I suspect all shrieking women are emotional monsters, sure. But at least they're being honest about it.

It's the quiet ones who are emotionally driven that are dangerous for men.

It has nothing to do with volume.

Well, that's true, too. I know a woman who...

(Eeek. Many a story will start out that way...)

Ah, skip the story. Let me just agree that quiet, emotion-driven women are dangerous for men. But I maintain that the same kind of man, is dangerous for women.

How's this: women are arguably both more emotional and more aware of their emotions, and so in a better position over the years to face, understand and develop deliberate strategies of self-control or self-management (because there's no option of ignoring female feelings, they're right out there like a rash on the face.)

Whereas men are slower to access their emotions, and likely slower to acknowledge, understand, or try to remedy them. (Because they carry them inside, like a deep inflammation they don't even know is there.)

In truth, I am not so very confident about my generlizations, since right away I start thinking of exceptions! And the people I know and like best, male and female, are "working on themselves," trying to do better on handling this stuff day by day.

So on that note, wishing you a good day, I bow and exit.
