Mental Stress Worse for Women than other Types of Stress.

Mental stress has a greater affect on women especially at the workplace.   How stress affects women differs from men.   For example mental labor has more of an effect on women than men.    Studies have shown mental labor raises stress levels in women.    Do women think about things more than men do?   If you think about it, it does make sense.    Women do tend to stress over many different things that men would never consider important.    Some of it could be blamed to bias sexism and others to biology.
