What makes you think it would be women who couldn't handle the situation? In the closing days of World War 2, with the Russians getting closer, and everyone obviously heading for a hard time. Berlin women referred to the men as 'the weakly sex' who sat around wallowing in self-pity while the women scavenged for food.
I've heard it said men give up easier in survival situatons too. Anyone know if this is true?
