Description

"Irrational”, “overdramatic”, “hysterical”, “sensitive” - if you’re a woman you have most likely been described using one of these words or similar in the past. That’s because there’s a common belief that women are more emotional than men, which still persists to this day.

Is there any scientific basis to such assumptions? What were the results then? How so? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
