Why is it when men have conflict they actually call it cinflict, but when women have conflict they call it drama?

Women are labelled drama queens if they argue or confront anyome. If men do it its simply called conflict. Ive seen men have just as much drama as women. 1 thing thats true is men get over conflict faster than women.

From my perspective, there’s a difference between conflict which is simply when something isn’t working out versus being dramatic. You can address a conflict in a respectful, problem-solving, looking for a compromise, empathetic etc approach.

Drama is when people are having a tantrum, being catty, gossiping, having a massive pity party rather than doing anything constructive about it. I hate to say it, but women are more prone to ‘big displays’ of drama than guys because we’re often raised to be feeling oriented creatures and men are raised to be pent up.

Naturally, there are a lot of guys and a lot of women who don’t fit into the stereotype, but the stereotype isn’t completely without merit.
