Are girls weak?

Hmmm no we are not weak. We are able to able to assume so many thgs in life and maybe that is the reason we easily break in tears. It the way to let our feelings flow. Probably girls are often victims coz of physical power. But that man who is attacking a girl, is not worth calling himself a Man. Anyways. our tears are our assets. We may be weak physically but are really powerful mentally. Cheers.

Girls are definitely not weak even though they appear to be so! They are in fact much stronger than guys when it comes to setbacks. Majority of women knows how to handle such situations and try get over it much faster. As girls are often seen as the weaker gender, so it's ok for them to cry, vent their frustrations and pouring their heart out. By a day or a week later, they are back to normal, stronger than before. When it comes to guys, it's the complete opposite because we are seen on the outside while very vulnerable on the inside. When faced with setbacks in life, very few of the men are able to recover but instead they slump lower into depression etc.. Why? Because men are too egoistic to ask for help, and think it's a kind of humiliation. When it comes to robbery etc, women are smart by not fighting back for that's what wise men will normally do. Protect ones life is more important than anything else.

I have never understood why men think that emotion is a sign of weakness. Women cry when upset. It is an emotional release that is good at stemming depression. It does not always work but can be useful for short term emotional release just like hitting something when angry can release emotional pressure. I am a female and I do both. To not release that pressure can cause untold long term damage to the mind and being. It is very sensible but definitely not a sign of weakness. As to girls being fragile, well they are. Men are stronger than women. The weakest man might be equivalent to the strongest woman. A woman is seen as a victim because they live in cultures where they are regarded as less than a man. These cultures are ones that value physical strength and tend to regard women as property. A woman could train in the martial arts and be more skilled but will never be as strong. We do not have testosterone which is needed to build muscle. Women body builders have to take steroids and make their bodies masculine to build muscle. I do not know why they wish to do this. After all what is the point in everyone being male? We are designed to be different. We should each be respected for our differences and learn to live with them.

Define weak? Weak in strength? Well yes, women are generally weaker than men. Crying is not a weakness. There are things in life worth crying about. In fact, people in counseling suggest that refusing to cry is very unhealthy. There is a healing aspect to letting go of your sorrow. As for being treated like fragile creatures who need care.... there are different ways in which someone needs care. If you cry and scream to get attention, are needy and helpless, then no, that is bad. But if you cry because you are really hurt, or in trouble, there is nothing wrong with this. As a Christian, I am taught to give honor and help to women. That I am supposed to be willing even to die for a women. Not because they are pathetic and weak, but because they are highly valued by G-d.

I agree with other mylotters that crying isn't necessarily a sign of weakness. It's a means for men and women of expressing emotion. I've seen about an equal number of men and women crying in my life time. True, women can be easier targets for robbery because they may be physically weaker than a male attacker. Most women are built with smaller frames and don't have a lot of upper body strength. I wouldn't say that all women are fragile creatures who need care. It entirely depends on the person.

Whoa there....what makes you think that crying is a sign of weakness? Girls or women are definitely weaker than men physically, but that does not mean that we are weaker emotionally or any other way. I don't think girls have always been treated like fragile creature who need care - May be so by some people, but not everyone. It is absolutely not true in my family. We have all been treated equally.

No, I just think that women express their feeling differently from men, it doesn't make them weak. Girls naturally cry to let out their feelings. Men are told not to because they are told to be tough and strong, but this can backfire on them. If we were so fragile and so delicate, do you think that we would be able to have children. Girls have to put up with so much, especially these days. Girls are forced to mature and grow up so quickly. They don't even have a chance to be children anymore. And they are bombarded with so many images that often times send the wrong messages. Girls have it so much harder than boys do.

I would not say that girls are weak at all. In fact they are fortunate to be able to cry - it is a natural human response for boys as well, except they learn to supress in in the belief that it is weak. Blocking emotions is known to have bad effects on the health and I often worry if us men tend to not live as long as women because we block so much in . It is not easy to get past these blocks because they are so ingrained in childhood, but I have helped many guys release emotions as a therapist and they have felt much better when they are able to do it. In a way, it takes more courage to show tears than to block them.. _Derek

I believe in reality that females are very strong. Males are weak. Compare= when sick with a illness= females still take care of their family, go to work, etc.= males whine, lay around and expect to be treated like a patient, usually by the ill female of the house. Females have been know to sucessfully raise a family of children all by themselves without the help of the the non present father. Many times because he has wondered off to create another household of children. Males have been known to raise children by themselves but 9 times out of 10 the single parent households are headed by females. Females shed tears openly. Males hide their tears in shame. Theres nothing wrong with sheding tears. It is NOT a sign of weakness. Its a sign that you have feelings. The reason females fall victim of crimes is because many times they are thought to weaker by muscle. What a surprize to some criminals when they are not.

Crying, generally, is not a sign of weakness, but of tenderness, compassion, and emotional release. Tears are healing. Girls are permitted to cry when hurt, while boys are not and that is very sad. Both girls and boys are sensitive and we all have a fragility about us. We all need love and care when we hurt. The only time female tears are not genuine is when they are used to manipulate someone. Tears come from our emotional level, but, also from deep in the spirit where they are most pure, as in "weeping" for someone or something you don't even know.

As human beings, all of us are weak in something. Crying might be considered a weakness, but it is also a sign of compassion which is a strength for humans. Woman are weaker in some things and men are weaker in some things. I think women can take pain more (childbirth). And in many relationships, women are stronger. Personally, I think this "girls and woman are weak" thing has caused unnecessary problems. For example, when a man opens a door for a woman, it doesn't mean she can't open the door for herself. To me, it shows our high respect for the femals. I've seen women so effected by this, that one day I saw a girl with a baby and other things in her arms who was getting ready to go through some double doors. So, the gentleman that I am (I was practically "trained" in grade school how to be a gentleman) I opened the right door for her. She went over to the left door and opened it. Now if I hadn't opened the door and she had dropped the baby, then I would have been the "bad guy." When my hands are full, I think it's human for a person to open the door for me and likewise if I see a person (male or female) whose hands are full. And some things we consider weak are not (as was said by a responder on this thread.) For example, as a Christian I think that when confronted, it takes more strength not to fight than to fight.

no..don't call it weakness..it just something like feelings...throw away or release something happy or sad from herself, her heart...its like something that make them feel relieved.. maybe yes, girls have always want to treated and be care. because it is the natural given by god, girls need to be protected, while boys protect them...hehe...it just my thought...thanks...

Am an an ardent advocate for gender equality. In the discourse of gender equality, this subject continue to reoccur but i'd like to reaffirm here that emotional expression by any human person whether male or female, has nothing to do with either being physically or emotionally weak. in fact, adequate expression of feelings connote emotional strength although it does not translate to either physical weakness or strength; it is a feature of humans to express their feelings driven by emotions.

When a girl cries,it doesn't mean that we are weak. Boys and even older men do cry also. Crying is one of the many ways to release tensions and to ease the pain. It's also a sign of joy or happiness. And if you'll come to think of it,girls/women are much stronger than men. They could take the pain and the risk (of giving their life) to give birth. The pain of being pregnant is not that easy. Second,mostly of what men can do,can also be done by women. Sometimes,in some fields,women excels most than men. :)

I don't think girls are weak, I think they just are more sensative. They have very sensative hearts and they take everything that happens to them personal. Where as a guy can usually brush things off and don't let things bother them as much as girls do. I think that's just the way we are made. My daughter, who lives with me and is 28 years old, has been crying a lot lately. But that's because she is having boyfriend problems. He just seems to shrug things off when they argue and he goes out with his buddies but my daughter just stays home in her bedroom..and crys. But then he feels bad and calls and makes everything okay again. She knows it will be okay again, in her brain, but it still hurts her heart and she cries and then later when things are good she can't believe she cried so much. She should just learn to be like a guy and just shrug it off because everything always works out for the best.

Actually, just the opposite. Crying is a relief of tension. Since most men do not cry, they are more stressed without releif and suffer more heart attacks and we end up outnumbering them in the end, even though more male children are born than female. I know many women prefer to play the 'girlie' card to get men to do the 'gentlemanly' thing, by opening doors, pulling out chairs and doing hard physical chores for them. But that is for the rich, actually. If you see people in hard times, it is the women that bear the brunt of the workload and are still not whiny babies like a man when they get sick.

your are right! girls are very very weak, but if they got any boy secret, they thought they are strong & use boys for there wish, Girls are weak than anything in world, P.S. Sadly one girls got my secrets now i am in deep troubles so I don't likes weak girls much.

Hi sweetneelu. We gals protest when they treat us equally and protest when they don't:-D Seriously speaking, I do find even guys and grown up men crying. It is just that we have a let out for our feelings and guys are afraid that their macho image will get spoilt. But I don't think that we are weak at all! Women have the courage and toughness to handle any situation life throws at them. They adapt easily and are mentally strong. They are able to multitask and play a lot of roles all at once. Yes, we do need to be taken care of sometimes and god created us different. But girls are never fragile creatures!

girls should not always taken for granted... they should be treasured and be proud of...

yes, in the old generation women are classified as weak persons that is why not given chances in mnay aspects in life but now its different.women now are independent and confident.women at this age are strong now.still there are girls that can not live alone or independent but girls are more respectable now and more productive or helpful in our daily lives.
