The absolutely correct reaction

Omg yes I’ve been seeing those more often lately

I love people sometimes

Yeah, July 2022, a 500 acre fire in Texas was caused by glass in a garbage can magnifying the sun and igniting papers. It burned 5 homes and took 8 days to contain.

Yeah, 'cause others wear vampires

How about devouring an entire take and bake chibatta loaf fresh from the oven?

I felt that too

I would absolutely participate in this! Not sure if I count as "silly," but I've learned a lot from eccentric old women, and i would appreciate any pearls of wisdom they decide to impart on me.

Sounds like my kind of place.

I dont think any teenagers are particularly easy, we’re all our own little package of chaos tied up in a bow

From twitter: honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion - (good on OP for recognising it though)

The misconception that boys and men are less emotional than girls and women is a pile of BS that needs to go.

Shouldn't be that way. We are all human, we are all emotional. Boys should feel comfortable expressing their emotions.

My parents said this when they had my brother. Now he’s a spoiled brat who is currently throwing a tantrum because he has to do his homework. I’m a straight a student whose never given my parents any trouble. Sooo they were wrong(I should add my parents see me as a girl)

I raised 5 boys, who were all in their teens at the same time. The walls of my house were dripping with testosterone. It was not nearly as much fun as you'd think it might have been.

No -A depressed 14 year old kid

boys have it emotionally tougher than girls in many cases. all the horny. toxic masculinity. peer pressure. other guys are jerks. being gay even harder for men. testosterone causing intense mood swings. im a girl and i can say that if you transfer the menstrual cramp pain to the penis women get a monthly free trial of male puberty

Four girls, one boy, three of them are teenagers now... None are easy...

I have known SO MANY fully grown adult men who are emotional af and it kills me that women get labeled as the emotional ones. If I had a nickel for every time I saw a man throw a full-blown temper tantrum, I would have zero student loan debt.

ha. ha. hahahah less emotional? Uhm... rage-quitting is still a show of emotion, isn' t it? Also... the bigger issue is that generally males in the teen years become food black holes. I still remember my bro and his friends - the costco card wasn't a luxury, it was a necessity.

I was teaching summer school and one kid had just had a breakup. The boy was literally on the ground reacting to his breakup.

Can one call this misogynistic or toxic masculinity or something of that ilk? It sounds like that (the part that boys are not as emotional)

Parents that say that do so because they don't parent their boys. If they taught them basic life skills aka made them do chores, held them to the same standards and curfews as girls, they'd see how emotional they are.

Hey you trained him. How did he go until 14 without knowing he had to do his own dishes? Start them at 3

Holy f*ck, parented my partner's then fourteen-year-old nephew for half a year, and boy I can tell you right now he was the most emotional non-adult I have ever met or been. And I work in schools. With children.

It pisses me off when people think raising a boy is easier. In some cases yes, but saying a boy is less emotional is b******t. Boys are less emotional because they are taught to be.,and then become less emotional spouses and struggle in relationships. Boys gave emotions too and struggle with similar things that girls struggle with. I raise my sons to be emotional so that they can be good spouses someone who can support and communicate with their partners and kids. We need emotional men

I've raised 9 children in my life. Hormones and emotions don't calm down until the 30s

Research shows that women in most countries are statistically more empathetic than men. I'd much rather have daughters.

I've always looked at it more as the intersibling issues... All boys will largely just knock each other around a bit, which sucks (I had 3 brothers), but sisters will emotionally scar the hell out of each other (wife has 2 sisters). Personally, I'd take a few scrapes and bruises over lifelong psychological damage

My aunt always says her daughter was far less dramatic than either of her sons during the teen years.

My son is worse than my daughter ever wad
