Boys and Girls Options

[*Kathleen*]

Okay, so I watched a video on this in health class today...haha. All right, the question is: are men and women born differently? Or has our society made it seem that way? Why do girls automatically play with Barbie dolls and boys like violence? Why do women remember landmarks better than guys, and guys can work better with maps? Just little things like that...are we truly born different? Womens' rights activists say our society just makes it seem that way. Scientific stuides prove otherwise. I don't know what to think about this yet...what do you have to say about it?

Yeah. The hormones and genes are DIFFERENT, but not neccessarily to say that girls like Barbies and boys like violence. I think that people are influenced to do these things. If they grow up, the first thing that's put in their head is that girls are to like pink and bows and boys to toy trucks and violence.
It's like how Jewish children grew up in Palestine to hate Arabs and Arabs to hate Jews. But then people wonder, "Why do we hate them anyway?" And yet this pointless hatred lasted so long and still lasts now. That's what's happening now because we're wondering why girls are the way they are and why guys are the way they're like they are. I truthfully have no idea, but animals don't have this kind of system. Genders usually don't matter. But the men are generally the ones that fight (like for mates) and that makes them tougher. Toughness = violence and other "hardcore" stuff. Men were made the superior gender, so we expect them to be tougher and take more responsibility. Somehow pink just represents being lighthearted and not caring about anything and it's generally not an angry or violent or tough color which is what men represent. I'm just saying in general. Like male lions are superior and stuff like that. Phew, I'm done.
