Study: "Men respond more aggressively than women to stress and it's all down to a single gene". Men - not women - are the ones who cannot control their emotions.

Scientists believe the SRY gene, which directs male development, may promote aggression and other traditionally male behavioral traits resulting in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120308071058.htm

The SRY gene is found on the Y chromosome. https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/gene/sry/
