Do Woman have more trouble getting over bad events?

I've been mugged in the wrong place at the wrong time. I've had people hit on me physically in an unappreciated way, grabbing and groping, men and women. I've seen plenty of crazies on the streets and gotten dirty looks and rude comments form people.

And guess what? I got over it, so why can't you feminists do the same thing?

    Yay! good for you!

    But what does any of that have to do with anything?

    No, they probably have less trouble on the whole.

    So you're saying that mugging and rape should not be illegal any more? That's absurd. No sane person agrees with you.

    I've never had any of those things happen to me, so I've nothing to get over.

    What leads to you to obviously absurd conclusion that all feminists were victims of those things and none got over it?

    Why do you hate all women so much that you feel compelled to make up crazy lies about everyone who thinks women deserve full human rights?

    Not acknowledging or talking about bad events doesn't mean one is "over it"...it may mean they're just in denial or may be a ticking time bomb in terms of future psychological issues.

    Maybe men and boys don't talk about their bad events the way girls and women do...but more than few act out with violence. These are the ones who are behind school shootings, acts of workplace violence, family murder/suicides and acts of terrorism.

    Besides, It's not just some feminists who seem to have problems "getting over bad events..."

    Look at how many Vietnam vets (primarily men) who claim they have PTSD because of the war. The Vietnam conflict ended in 1975 with the fall of Saigon...but yet some of those homeless vets milk this like no one's business...and they will tell anyone with ears about it...and they'll talk about it infinitum ad nauseum...and everything seems to be all about them and the war! Why aren't THEY over that yet?

    To hear some of them talk, you'd think they were the last "true" military veterans in America.

    Never mind some of the horrors that WWII and Korean War Vets went through...you dont' see them talking about it all the time.

    I don't think rudeness has anything to do with whether the woman is strong or not. What you did was a kind gesture. And it seems that she was in her own little world. Don't let that stop you from being thoughtful to others. I will always appreciate someone holding a door open for me. Chivalry is not dead my friend.

    I dont know...it seems alot of men have a really hard time getting over divorce. Especially when it wasnt their idea. Alot of women seem to be able to get on with their life and be less bitter about it. So perhaps we just all have our achilles heal.

    Depends on the individual. Some women can actually shut off their emotions believe it or not.

    This is just you, though.

    It's not like every man on the planet thinks exactly like you,

    or forgives just as easily.

    Coming from someone who is not a feminist btw.

    We do. I'm not the one moaning about my bad experiences to a bunch of strangers,

    doesn't sound like you're over anything to me.

    you're bitching anonymously on yahoo answers! lol

    FYI, the word "EMO" usually refers to a MALE. So, who needs to get over it?
