How do you know that? Maybe they need to produce more hormone because they get stressed more easily compared to men and need to compensate
I'm very much a guy, like I feel my guyish nature (whatever that entails is up for debate perhaps, but ..) is something that defines me as a person to the very core of my being and I'm very happy with my gender. I have a lot of girl friends, but they are way way harder to relate to in a day to day life than my guy friends concerning for example stuff like just ordinairy feelings (or lack of them) about stuff.
edit :
I don't think the fact that men murder more often means that they are necessarily more emotionally "unstable". I believe they are more often the sort of people who murder
That's an important distinction, I think. For reasons stemming from the general physical differences between the sexes, put roughly - men have a higher capacity for violence and this again stems from our evolutionary history.
