I don't know if it is worse.......everything is relative.....but I have always thought men got the short end of the stick when society doesn't really gift men with the freedom to cry.......

As a woman.....I have used tears for a natural release more times than I can count......I have seen my husband cry twice.......

Men are wired to be the providers.....what if they can't....I had a therapist tell me that men veiw their success in the world by how well they provide for their family.....

One thing I know from studying the brain.....men and women are really, really, wired very differently.....that could be part of why they say it is more difficult.....we find comfort in different things......

It is women who create the essence, or community, of family....keep it going.....we are nest builders.....we draw strength from that.....not saying that men can't do that too, but it is not really the way they are hard wired......

The sexes each have different abilities that come into play, in how their minds function.....my personal opinion is that woman are more able to cope with things emotionally than men......I think we have more coping options.....within our own minds.....than men......

I know my husband holds onto things......instead of talking about them.....that makes it kind of hard to let go.....he keeps them in, until he can't handle it anymore and then.....boom.....there is an explosion......

I am glad I am a woman..........

Blessings to us all........
