Number 25 says, "Women have deeper emotions than men. Do I agree or disagree? It's hard to say. I think it depends on the emotion and the person. We are all unique individuals who feel different and deeper feelings towards certain things. Number 25 relates closely to Number 26, which says, "Women are more apt to show emotion than men." These two statements are extremely related and my view on each is a bit shaky.
It's hard to determine the depths of everyone's emotions because we are all so different. A main difference is our expression of these feelings, which leads us to #26. I think that overall, women are much more apt to openly express certain emotions like sadness, romance, and excitement. Women are naturally more dramatic, expressing those feelings at higher levels. Women, more often than men, bawl during sad movies, gossip about the card they got from their crush on Valentine's Day, and scream in giddy excitement . Because of this, it may seem that women feel those emotions more deeply, when really the men may just be hiding those emotions or lessening the extremity of them. In contrast, men often seem more expressive of emotions like anger, releasing those feelings in loud and physical ways. Girls may feel the same amount of anger but instead, they talk and vent about it with their friends.
Just because someone doesn't express a certain emotion doesn't mean they aren't feeling it inside. Because certain people and genders have different levels of expression, it is impossible to tell whether or not someone is feeling an emotion more deeply than someone else. No one besides ourselves can know what we are feeling. Some people choose to be expressive, and others don't. We will never know what others aren't telling us, and therefore we will never be able to calculate whether men or women hold a higher depth of emotions.
