A sociologist Masahiro Yamada said, the sex ratio between reclusive men and women is 7:3. Why do men tend to shut themselves in more than women?
Shut-ins mean the action seeking for safe places unrelated to competition. In recent years our world has been referred to "a stratified society"and people who lose severe races like getting good grades in schools or workplaces and overwhelmed by the stress finally withdraw from their society.
Since their childhood, men have strongly felt that they should keep on winning a lot of contention. Furthermore, despite the popularity of the thought of "equal rights for both sexes", men are always expected to be strong, so they seem to be stressed out by extreme pressures.
Moreover, the research using rats revealed that men are sensitive to stress more than women. When rats are caged in a box which doesn't have a ceiling, while female ones start to explore in it, male ones tend to crouch at a corner and stay reclusive. In short, by the difference of amount of pressures and stress tolerance, shut-ins have been becoming the phenomenon for the men.
