Why do people believe that women are automatically more gentle than men? i wish that were the case.?
for some reason, I"m way more gentle and nurturing and caring than my mom. She is very blunt, hates weakness, very unsympathetic and is very critical and harsh with her words.
Is this normal? Why do people think women are automatically nice and men automatically mean?

It sim[ly gender stereotyping. You will find stereotyping everywhere amongst all people.

Course it's normal! We're human too :P
People assume that because traditionally that's how men and women were brought up. Women were supposed to be gentle and nurturing (housewife) and the men to be tough and a warrior (breadwinner in modern times). But trying to bring people up that way isn't going to change the fact that we're all human and we all have the potential to act like that.

I've never believed that women were more gentle than men. While it is true that most women have maternal instincts this does not stop them totally destroying anything or anyone who tries to do harm to their baby.
If you want full on rage, then read about what Queen Boudicca did following the rape of her daughters and what the Romans did to her too.
Boudicca and her British Army marched on Colchester, they set fire to the city, killing every living soul and their animals. They forced 2,000 of the Roman garrison of Colchester inside their evil temple to the Emperor of Rome and then set fire to it burning them all alive.
Boudicca and her British Army then marched on London and on arrival sacked the city, killed everyone and everything in it and set it ablaze. Today, if you dig down about 30 feet anywhere in the City of London you come upon the ash of that blaze and the broken skulls of those Romans not smart enough to ship out in time.
Boudicca's British Army destroyed two Roman Legions - the Romans had never seen anything like it in all their so called glorious history.
Where are they now? Dead, that's where.
The British went on to create the world's largest ever empire - the British Empire and they even manged by some clever trickery to keep most of it by simply calling it the Commonwealth.

Now go to Westminster Bridge here in London where you'll see the Statue of Queen Boudicca and her daughters.

The name Boudicca (Bod-dig) translates from British to English to mean Victory.

You don't explain the circumstances. Women who are raising a family on their own may have to be a bit tougher in the attempt to fulfill both roles for their children. It is very stressful and often determination is all that keeps them going. Try a little appreciation and see if she softens in her attitude.

"people" don't think that.
Women tend to spend more time around women than men do and as a result see what women are like. I can believe that some men beleive that women are (or at least should be) all fluffy bunnies, but I'm afraid women are just people as well.

It's a fallacy promoted by feminists. It's just false propaganda.
But men have evolved to be commonly more aggressive since overpopulation forced wars. Men are larger so they naturally adopted the role of warrior in their family's/clan's/tribe's/nation's competition for resources.
Source(s): For decades I studied philosophies, cultures, and social institutions. I began that because of confusion resulting from my military experience under the shadow of neo-Marxist anti-military and anti-capitalism indoctrination in the universities. I continue a forty year quest wading through the huge pile of stinking crap a wide variety of bigots piled on top of truth hiding it from nearly everyone's view. The pile was made by blaming people they don't like while excusing people they do like regardless of where the fault really lies. - old grumpyLv 79 years ago
Let me answer you in this way. Mike Tyson would not last more than a couple of rounds with my Mother-in-law. Even the devil has banned her from his hell hole.
I got to go now, because I can hear her thundering foot-steps coming up the stairs.
Have a gentle day, yourself.

In general, women tend to be the gentler sex. However, there are exceptions to this rule. It depends heavily on the environment etc. she was exposed to.

Actually, what you are talking about is a thing of the past. I doubt if you could get anyone to agree with that idea anymore.

So in other words, your mom pees standing up, and you urinate sitting down?
