I think generally speaking women are less afraid to show emotion - such as crying, feeling lonely, being upset. Men tend to keep those bottled up inside them. They believe they will be seen as soft if they show those emotions. Thousands of years of conditioning I suppose. I know it doesn't apply to all men.
However hormones really do have a lot to answer for - be it menopause or that time of the month.
