I don't agree with this at all. Women and men are very different. We are equal under law (or should be), but there are inherent differences that cannot be simply cast aside with political correctness. I think women tend to show more emotion because that's who they are, not because of socialization. Certainly society plays a role, but not to the degree you suggest. The latter half of this (semi-hijacked) thread really belongs in the Coming Together forum. Recognizing differences in the sexes, instead of refuting them angrily, is key to communication.
