Most people already know this, but why is it the case? Women are much more resilient in the face of adversity than men are. Studies prove it. When a couple splits up, the woman gets over it relatively quickly. The man only gets over it on the day he dies. Is it a pride thing? Men are weak.

Men are not weak. It's just that in some cases, women are stronger. Perhaps it's because of the 'protective and resilient mother' thing. Women have to be strong for their offspring to survive. If danger is approaching a mother and child, the mother will not panic and go to pieces. - She will defend her child with every ounce of strength, and all the bravery of a lioness. (Even though she may scream and act like a silly dumbo if a mouse runs across the floor)
I also believe that men's egos are more fragile, and that is their Achilles heel. -

I think men and women are both protective of their children. I would fight a lion to save my kid and I'd gladly accept any challenges. We are describing physical strength here. The question this thread pertains to is emotional strength. If in the off chance I was not able to defeat the lion, and it ate my child, I would be devastated for life, as most men would. Women will be traumatized as well, but studies show their pain is not as long lasting, whether it be due to a breakup, the loss of a parent, or the loss of a child. Men hold on to emotions, whereas women can move on.

Might be an evolutionary response to the fact that men in the past were always fighting and killing each other.
Human history wasn't very peaceful. Tribes were fighting against other tribes. A woman might lose her significant other in a battle and have to move on. -

Emotional strength has little to do with it.
