That does sound like a little BS Malik, I use emotions for a lot of things. I just don't have a lot of reasons for some emotions. Anyway, women can do things that seperate from emotions too. And I've heard of guys being raped. I saw it on a law show real quick once. It happens. Like that old joke about jail.

I would have to disagree if your argument is based on the previous example Planty. What you've demonstrated is that women have a stronger maternal instinct. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the point over all, but that evidence isn't a good indicator.

However, I can't really add more to this particular vector of the discussion, enjoying art and being involved in it's production; inevitably I have to add emotional attachment to things to create that emotion in the picture of music I'm performing.

Actually, Planty's point of men being emotionally detached does make quite a bit of sense.

When I play a video game, watch movie or read a book, I tend to get emotionally involved with the characters in the story. (I'm a guy by the way, which means I would probably fall into the minority of sensitive guys) A friend of mine, however, tends to remain emotionally detached from such stories; he'll insult them and make fun of them when they're doing poorly or doing something awkward, and only praises them if they're doing exceptionally well. While he admits that he mostly does this jokingly, I have observed him doing this unconsciously often (even going so far as to use language I won't repeat here).

Indeed, I've noticed similar behavior among many of my male friends, while I've noticed many female friends developing emotional attachments to characters.

So yes, I do believe there's quite a bit of truth to Planty's statement. Actually, now that I think about it, it has alot to do with each genders' reaction to gays. Because the average man lacks an emotional attachment to others, he thinks only of himself, which probably explains his fear of gays. The average woman, on the other hand, can see through her emotional attachments that gays and lesbians are, despite their differences, still people and thus not unlike herself. In other words, she can put herself in their shoes and see that they don't really deserve to be shunned or feared.

That was just one of the examples, but was the one that directly had to do with emotional dettachment from males.

Notice your example has to deal with emotional attachment put into 'something' not 'someone'. Your emotional attachment is towards something you enjoy, doesn't directly have to do with your reaction towards someone else's reactions to your actions.

A woman is more likely to be affected by someone else's opinion or attitude towards her, a woman is more likely to find offense at something you say. And a woman ultimately is more likely to have an emotional reaction to things. And a woman is more likely to hold a grudge if you say the "wrong thing."

Notice I never said, and Malik either, that men cannot have an emotional attachment, but that it's less likely they'll want to involve into emotional attachment past a task/job/work. IE - You can be very emotionaly attached to your art or music, but could be very hard for you to relate with school mates, girl friends, relatives, etc. (Notice this is an example, not saying you're like that.) Some Males can be more emotionally attached than others. Just like there's females that can be very emotionally dettached too.

I meant people use it as a joke. But yeah, I did not understand what I put in that quote. I feel kind of sorry I did. But I do get kind of drawn into things. If I'm not splitting my focus. Some movies, games, and things I read I can get more involved with it.
