I'm afraid, I'm more of a scientist...but hmm, will you be mentioning something along the lines of how the emotional wiring of males and females are fundamentally different? Studies show that some females feel more pain if they focus on the more emotional aspect of their problems.

This thread: http://thinkers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=102 was interesting, the people there posted some really interesting points:

"The conception of suffering on any of us is a personal one. It is personal when we are the person directly involved in some personal way with that particular conceived suffering. Others could be and are often collaterally made to feel some of that suffering in one way or another way but mainly the person directly affected is the one person that feels that suffering the most. If our child is killed or maimed or is taken forcibly away from us we of that child’s direct and immediate family members are the most affected by such a suffering turn of events. Others like friends, government officials, neighbors, radio and TV and Internet audiences and newspaper and magazine readers and some other interested parties are effected in their own ways more or less but they are not made to feel such suffering as does the immediate family members and friends would feel.

Some males and some females will suffer more or less than will some of the other males and females in these groups of sufferers but who does suffer the most or the least is always difficult to figure out because some people show their internal suffering externally and dramatically but many others will show very little if any external or dramatic suffering but under that hard shell there will often lurk a deep hurt and a deep actual concern. What these suffering events tell me is that when they occur and to whomever they occur the people directly involved hurt and hurt deeply and profoundly wherever they live."

I just noticed, that I've probably totally misinterpreted your question as it may be about how people who write plays and such leave the most poignant displays of suffering for women and I'm not sure about that kind of stuff, but, oh well...Hope your essay goes well. x

The whole body of the essay is basically going to be about sterotypes
