The weakness of women is often a bargaining chip in their relationship with men. Sometimes it is beneficial for ladies to be helpless in order to receive the care and support of a strong half. At the same time, women, as you know, will both “stop the galloping horse” and “enter the burning hut”. Physiologists, psychologists, geneticists and other specialists have their own observations on this matter.
Men differ from women by the presence of a Y chromosome (XY versus XX set). Due to the specificity of the gene set, men are more likely to suffer from schizophrenia and psychosis. But women are more prone to depression. As studies conducted during the training of cosmonauts have shown, women have a higher stress tolerance threshold, but at the same time, their indicators return to normal longer after a shock. That is, in an emergency situation, they are able to make the right decisions, but after that their performance is disrupted for a longer time than men.
The production of the male hormone testosterone begins in male embryos at the stage of intrauterine development. Testosterone, among other things, stimulates the development of the left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for rational thinking. Therefore, husbands are more rational and logical, then women are so emotional, tend to rely on intuition and their own feelings. Sometimes, the ability to empathy and impressionability can really be mistaken for weakness.
The fact that men are physically stronger is confirmed by both everyday experience and medical data. In women, the muscle corset is less developed, and the bone tissue is not so powerful, especially since after a certain age (with the onset of menopause) calcium is flushed out of the body. At the same time, men are more susceptible to heart disease (here the female hormone estrogen plays its role in protecting the main muscle and blood vessels of the fairer sex).
Psychologically weakness is part of the gender role of women. The root of this phenomenon can be found in zoopsychology. In nature, stable pairs are formed by those animals whose females for a long time after the birth of offspring are not able to feed themselves due to constant care for the young. And the human infant is almost less adapted to life than all other species. So, on a subconscious level, a woman is looking for a partner with whom she can be weak and defenseless. Girls are able to cope with many routine tasks at the same time. However, a wise woman occasionally lets her other half take care of herself.
