Regardless of statistics, I do think women are encouraged to be fearful of many situations whereas men are actively discouraged (punished) for voicing any fears they might have.  I don't mind Jennifer Walters bringing that up as maybe a reason why she's in control when turning into She-Hulk.  Quite frankly, I can't remember if they ever explained why Jennifer was in control in the comic either.  It's been a while.</blockquote>
