Women confront death with "nerves of steel" while men often collapse with fear, Saudi Arabia's most senior executioner was reported as saying. Ahmad Rezkallah has beheaded more than 300 people, including 70 women. "Most women I executed were strong and calm," he said. "In tough situations, they are much stronger than men ? People here have the impression that women are soft and weak. But at the time of the execution, most men collapse." When men are spared by a last-minute reprieve "some are paralysed, some go crazy. However, women in general have nerves of steel."
