UCLA Study1.) Women handle stress better than men because of the hormone oxytocin which causes them to "tend and befriend."
2.) Oxytocin is a hormone commonly linked to feelings of trust.
3.) Autism is claimed to be a case of the extreme "male brain."
4.) Autisitcs tend to be too trusting.
Final verdict: Somebody's fibbing.
1.) The UCLA study that claims women handle stress better than men encourages women to seek social support from other women, because these friendships stimulate oxytocin production.
2.) One of the biggest factors in making the world such a distrustful place is the inability of so many people to befriend people
different from themselves. Trust stimulates the production of oxytocin.
Final verdict: UCLA study encourages women to shoot themselves in the foot.
And now for the kicker...
I have a problem. Women with a chip on their shoulders piss me off. I have very few people I can even mention this problem to without offending them.
The Question: Is this problem because of hormones or the status-quo?
