Gender and Break-ups

Gender Studies

Sad truth from a recently published study in Evolutionary Psychology:

… the researchers reasoned that since men are physically stronger and able to dominate women, men are more able to try to coerce an unwilling partner into staying with them, and sure enough, women in the study reported more stalking by their partner after they had broken off with him.

And:

Female dumpers were more likely than men to feel sad, confused and scared, while men giving their partner the heave were more likely to be happy or indifferent.

Breaking up is less hard to do with a new hairdo

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Gender and Break-ups. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
