Why do women complain that men are 'whining' when men express their...

...concerns, feelings and emotions? Women are always complaining about men not opening up about their feelings or concerns, but when we do, a lot of women say that we're just 'whining.' Maybe this is the reason why men don't always share what we're feeling.

"Expressing your feelings and concerns" DOES NOT come in the form of COMPLAINING that your sandwich doesn't have mayonnaise.

Theirs a difference between complaining like a wuss and sharing emotions

There is a difference between communicating respectfully and maturely your concerns and try to find a solution, and whining like a baby.

"Oh, my feet hurt."

"My head hurts."

"My game broke."

Think of you talking to your children (your imaginary children). If they said something like this, you would think they're whining aswell.

Women are like: "I just gave phucking birth! Can you give me a break?????!"

Where is the evidence for this?

Most women seem to think they have the monopoly on feelings and emotions. They complain that men don't express them, but when we do, we ARE accused of whining. A woman never says what she actually means.

It goes both ways. Some people are just more empathetic & more willing to listen than others.
