Women are less tolerant than men. They needed a study to find that out?

This is a good one.  A study conducted in the US showed that girls are less tolerant of bad behaviour than men are.  Apparently this study was published in the US Journal of Psychological Science.  This is the link from which I got the story:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/4609018/Women-less-tolerant-of-each-other-than-men-are-study-finds.html  

I really can’t verify that the source of this study is accurate, but all I can say is that the results are as obvious as the day following the night.  Being married, having had women as bosses, colleagues and staff, meeting them in social and professional areas, I have to say that I often find it strange when I read that women are supposed to be the more tolerant, yielding and inclusive sex.  Maybe blame it on the interactions that I have had, but in nearly all the cases, women tend to have been more prejudiced and judgemental than most of the men I have worked with.  In the house, things must be spotless and rubbish has to be cleared (we men don’t care about these things….as long as we can move around comfortably and the dust doesn’t make us sneeze!), at work, small altercations get blown up into world ending arguments, etc…….  And women bear grudges for far longer than men as well.  I think the term that revenge is a dish best eaten cold must have been coined by a woman!

We men tend to be more easygoing and our grudges seldom extend for more than the time it takes to order another beer.  Maybe thats why we make better bosses!  Ooooh….I think I’m going to get slaughtered on this post!
