10. Fight, Flight, or Freeze
In moments of extreme stress, the body activates the fight, flight, or freeze response. This is essentially an emergency mode to take care of immediate needs and find safety. Due to various differences in brain responses, males may be more likely than females to activate the fight, flight, or freeze response as a reaction to stress.
As a result, males have more frequent and noticeable stress responses. It may also seem as though males act much more aggressively or stoically than females.
