WOMEN AND STRESS
A study by UCLA according to an email I received says women don't just have the flight or fight syndrome when confronted with stress--we seek other women, gather children, get busy. Men isolate or hole up by themselves.  It said oxytocin is released in women along with other stress hormones. This has a calming and a bonding effect.
​"Oxytocin — nicknamed by some experts “the tend and befriend hormone” — is one of the most important hormones that humans (and many other mammals) produce, considering it plays a role in social bonding, building relationships, reproduction, childbirth and breastfeeding. According to the American Psychological Association, oxytocin is released in response to positive social connection and stressful conditions. Levels have been found to be higher when someone is under stress, such as when exposed to social isolation or when in an unhappy relationship."
