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?

QUOTE(EmeraldKnight @ May 19 2004, 9:48 PM) Usually.. and it looks like you're mainly discussing physical strength and endurance.. that's just one aspect.. there are so many other areas, you cant just say one sex is better than another simply because of physical endurance I'm not saying whether one is better or worse. I'm just stating that the extra bit of chromosome does give females some advantage - such as they're less likely to be haemophiliacs. I'm not going to bother explaining why, because it'll take too long - if you would like to know, go read up on some genetics or something. In a strictly scientific view, the only difference between males and females is the XY and XX chromosomes in our DNA. |
