People are emotional beings. Yet when it comes to classifying men and women it comes across differently, as Erica Limkeman recently observed:



"Isn’t it telling that being “emotional” is considered a feminine quality and is frowned upon, whereas men are often admired for being “passionate.” Go figure."



This is because emotional reactions are considered weak, while passion* is strong. It’s a false distinction, of course. What one person calls passionate another might call emotional. It depends on whether the action appears rational or not. And when it comes to being emotional or rational, there are plenty of examples of women and men displaying either.



Even in the Bible.

David,



Ever looked up the definition to the meaning of "NASA" and their ACTORnaut's scam program??? Your beloved Katherine Johnson is part of the problem! OK?
