I think that women are more emotional on every subject due to our hormonal makeup. But, that might just be an opinion. (I don't think so, but I can't sight where I've heard it). And also, we feel more strongly towards things because throughout history we've been the ones who have had to hold things together, emotionally bond with our children more outwardly...things like that. It's the whole: boys don't cry thing. But, I'll look it up and get back to ya!
