Women are emotional and emotionally driven; an excuse?

The science is pretty clear on this - the structures of the amygdala, hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex are different in men and women - and all these areas related to emotional processing and emotional memory.

In terms of what we do with this information - well, I'm not a believer in the idea of a "pussy pass" so I accept that women are going to process the world and behave differently, and some shitty behaviour may be explained but not excused by these differences.

I mean, if I murder someone, my expanded amygdala and higher testosterone levels aren't a defence, so I don't give women a pass on irrational behaviour or argument based on their finer emotional sensitivity.

In terms of LTR game - accepting differing gender roles & appreciating how inherently male & female ways of processing the world contribute differently to daily life helps establish a reasonably harmonious household.

I'll leave it to the plate-spinners to desribe how it helps them.

It's not about what you "believe" but about the facts. Please provide some arguments that make you think that or I'll consider you're trolling.

It's not that women are more emotional than men, it's that they lack any desire or external pressure to embrace the same delayed gratification that men usually have to.

Men and women both want happiness. Men typically focus on the future goal of happiness and work towards that goal in spite of current emotional state. (tough job is ok, getting paid. I know I'm tired and want to sleep in, but going to the gym will pay off).

A woman will focus on immediate satisfaction of her emotional needs. I think for a number of reasons. I'm sure we wouldn't have to dig too far to find an evolutionarily advantageous component to it (doing anything risky hurts fetus survivability, so women concentrate on maximum comfort?). There are few external factors making women set long-term goals since women are never allowed to hit rock bottom in our culture- think about it. They don't need careers, just a rich guy. They don't need to be unhappy in marriage, they can divorce for money. They don't need a father for their children, they'll just collect welfare. There is literally no external pressure imposing goal setting and delaying of gratification for women.

I think this is one of those things that distinguishes red pill men and guys who merely have contempt for women, and it's the difference between guys who have accepted the nature of women, and those who haven't. If you're following this narrative of "women need to be held accountable for hypergamy/solipsism/narcissism/etc" then make no mistake, you haven't really taken the red pill. You've spit it out, you hate the taste, and in the end it's really a sort of equalism you're still endorsing: You're holding women to the standards of men.

I really don't believe this concept as it's being presented and would like to see what TRP members or manosphere has to say on women being "emotional creatures".

I don't think your problem is lack of belief, but cognitive dissonance.

Women do NOT care about what is right or wrong. Also, they concept of personal honor is completely foreign to them.

All they care about, and all they KNOW, is how they FEEL and what they WANT. At any given moment in time.

i can't even tell if you are arguing for or against the position.

Make a list of the times you saw an emotional response during your daily life. Also note whether it was a male or female.

Here are some situations to get you started. Who cries at weddings? Who cries at work? Who reads the articles on "how to get your SO to open up"? Who likes action movies and for whom is the romantic sub-plot added?

Haven't encountered many females, eh? I know the words and actions of women rarely match, but even a fair amount of women admit to being driven by their emotions. Their behaviour surely solidifies the notion.
