no

I think it more of a person to person thing

TC, define "control of their emotions".

That's more of an individual thing than it is a gender thing in my opinion. Some people are just more cool and calm than others and there's any number of factors that enter into that equation.

---

I cant wait for TC to to post increasingly sexist/racist topics over the next week like all the rest.

neither

My answer is 'person to person' overall, but I also agree with this in terms of overall daily interactions. That also being said, my mother is one of the most emotionally volatile/flippant person I've known. It's also fun to say men because women had to put up with being called 'emotional' for everything for centuries, when men definitely/obviously were too, oftentimes with entire nation-states at stake.

I only have like 3 emotions and 2 of them rarely happen, but the third is very uncontrolable... I'm pretty sure women can control more than 33% of their feelings.

I'd argue that both sexes are equally bad (or good, depending on your point of view) at controlling emotions. The sticking point is that they tend to differ on which emotions they have a harder time controlling. So your perception of which is better or worse is going to be based on your own subjective biases and the standards you're choosing to judge by.

It's also easily influenced by culture in general - someone growing up today is constantly being bombarded with radically different assumptions about what is and isn't emotionally acceptable than someone growing up in 1950, or 1850, or 1250 (and so on).

All of which kind of renders the entire question meaningless. Essentially, either every possible answer is right, or every possible answer is wrong.

Depends the person more than the sex.

I'd say men are more to anger and women, idk what to call it but emotional, either way, we all have a little issues, but like others say, it depends on person to person. Like me and my two brothers for example, when we get angry we get really angry, my sister when she gets mad she idk, kinda angry but like like trying to make you feel bad, idk how to described it.

---

Humans in general are emotional, some more than others for sure but I don't think genders make a difference. I've known crazy dudes and girls and I've seen calm and collected guys and girls

---

I think women are in more control of men's emotions.

Women are too emotional
The apathy is like a wound in salt
Women are too emotional
And men never cared that much or at all

Youre sexist if you really think one gender is more emotional than the other. Not to mention, emotions come in a wide range. Sure, Ive probably seen more women crying than men (because men at taught to bottle up their emotions with is wrong and dangerous), but Ibe also seen more men get angry very easily, which is also an emotion. That said, it doesnt mean men dont cry, and women dont get angry. Which is why I dont see gender at mattering much. Since some people are just more emotional than others. It just depends on the person.

Only if you think that one gender is more emotional than the other. It sounds like that based on the post. But maybe you meant something different Especially since you said something at the end like me dont care at all. Many men do care. There are many that are wrongly taught to never show emotion. And some believe that to be the right thing to do. But its unhealthy. Plus, not showing emotion doesnt mean you dont have them. You just arent showing them. And because emotions come in more than one flavor, you cant just say a certain gender cries more, so they are more emotional or whatever

i mean my experience as a transsexual is that testosterone makes me get angry over incredibly dumb stuff sometimes and i cant really stop it. estrogen makes me get sad more often but i can usually just cry about it and then feel better

---

Neither really

Biologically, men.

whats with all the topics with this lowkey incel vibe lately

When it comes to horses geldings are usually the most stable (no pun intended). Stallions tend to be aggressive and hard to deal with (though mine wasn't), and mares can be moody (mine definitely is).
