Because girls are emotionally and physically stronger then men..in turn we can handle more. Ex. Labor. No man could ever stand that kind of pain and for so long! And men who want to argue with that then picture someone kicking u in your balls over and over again for hours upon hours...can u handle that? I didn't think so.

∙ 10y agoBeing a depressed female myself, I think that we experience it more because women have a different physique than men, making us (unfortunately) genetically weaker. We as women have obviously been disrespected in the past, and though most of America has gotten past this, there are still plenty of people who still have no respect. I honestly think that this is because of your gender's history. Hope this helps!
