I agree that for the most part, women are better at communicating specific feelings. Women tend to analyze their feelings a lot more than men. When something is wrong, we focus on what we're feeling, why we're feeling that way, what caused us to feel the way we are etc etc. It's no wonder we can communicate our emotions because we pick every emotion apart in our minds. Men I think just feel bad about something and concentrate on how to make it go away, which is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that solving the problem takes a higher priority than analyzing every minute detail, so putting names and labels to emotions isn't something men do.
These are huge generalizations though so of course there's probably people here who don't fit into those descriptions, but I'd say for the majority of people I've met, it's largely true.
