Why do girls/women cry when they get berated?

Before I begin, let me just say that I don't mean every woman I just mean a large enough portion of women that it some form of generalization is applicable. Ok anyway, why is it that women cry when they get scolded. I remember in high school when the teacher yelled at some girl, she would start crying. Same thing happens in work situations with women, so its not an age thing. The funny thing is if 3 girls get berated, they leave angry; If one girl gets berated, she leaves crying. So what's the deal? Its not like women are emotionally weaker than men or anything. Is it self-pity? If so thats dispicable. Self-pity is one of the worst human trait. Or maybe they are embarrassed and they hope that by crying people will feel sorry for them, rather than mock them? If so, thats a bit more clever but still.... Why do you think?

Perhaps we should ask a woman, not GameSpot.

To make people feel bad and stop:P

I assume it is the same reason men get angry when it happens to us.

They are emotional wrecks?

A good point, because I have women stashed under my bed right now...at this very moment.....II_Seraphim_II

:lol: Nice.

I wouldn't cry if someone yelled at me. Why should I? Why would I let someone trample over me like that?

I think it's just different ways male and female express their feeling and coping with stress. men punch walls or slam doors, and women hide in the bathroom and cry, different action but same motivation: to release stress and pressure. IMHO, women's way is a lot less destructive, LOL.

care to share?

Anyways, I don't know why...they just think everything is a bit more dramatic than it really is...

because women's (most of them) whole purpose is to pro create, whether feminists, or such, disagree with that, by getting berated on looks or performance means she is not fit for natural selection and thus it is appropriate to be depressed hittin

I cry because it's my nervous reaction, not because I want sympathy or anything. It's not fun having your face go all red, your eyes puff up and your makeup smeared all over. I'm sure some people cry for attention, but you can usually tell attention-cryers from emotion-cryers because attention cryers tend to put on a show and wail and stuff.XilePrincess

smeared make up

all red cafe

puffy eyes

oh no! you sound just like an old girlfriend

either way..i don't see it as effeminate to cry when being berated..Xx_Hopeless_xX

Probably no one right answer to this question. I can think of at least 2 reasons off the top of my head. 1. Because they are generally upset in the heat of the moment and are overwhelmed, and 2. To invoke a feeling of sympathy in the party that is doing the yelling (example: get out of a speeding ticket) :P

Men dont cry as often, because its just natural social evolution of men living under the crushing system of patriarchy. Remember, patriarchies number one victim has always been men. Men are needed to do all the dangerous things and punishing tasks throughout history, so a psychological system has to be made to condition them for those brutal tasks

There are guys who do the same.

I'm sure there would be plenty more who do if there wasn't such a stigma.

It hurts their feelines.
