Depends on what you mean by "stronger".
On the one hand, women tend to display a higher capacity for empathy and developing social bonds. On the other, they have higher rates of depression and are more likely to suffer from a heart attack due to an emotionally traumatic event.
In any case, the differences between individuals varies more greatly than the differences between male/female.
