Yup. I agree. Variations may either be biological, group/ culture orientation but at the end of the day, understanding between both parties is what matters.Rebeccaej wrote:There's a lot more variation within each group then between the groups, and even THAT variation is heavily influenced by socialization.
Maybe there are biological differences, but they're pretty insignificant compared to individual variation.

Ditto! We may be different, but we have a lot in common too.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:I am glad that what transpires is the realization that men and women are different but this does not serve as a comparison on who is better or worse but it is more on trying to overcome these differences.

I agree with your opinions. In reality, we cannot discount the fact that differences bring families to pieces.Gravy wrote:I think there are definitely differences between men and women, but I have to question how much is caused by biological gender, and how much is caused by our culture and gender stereotypes.
Despite the differences, I agree with Jaime Lync. We're all individuals. We're all unique. And most people have some quality that would culturally defy their gender.

That may be the case, but sadly, in some countries, women are still considered inferior by men and lack any rights to speak of.Jeconiaomolo wrote:I don't believe that difference between men and women can be related to them coming from different planets. This is a serious mith. What I can say is that it about history; men believed to be superior than women because in the olden days it was men who were normally participating in wars since they believed to be more energetic. So women also accepted to be inferior, however much they try to discard this by campaigning for gender equality, some of them will still believe they are inferior. That's why most of the time they think that, everything bad that will come, it is men to be blamed.

Ironically, I've often found the same to be true of other women and myself.Amagine wrote:I would say that men and women are from the same planet. We simply speak different languages and need to work harder in trying to understand one another.
I think we all speak our own language, and it's up to the individual to learn to speak others', as well as to teach others to speak theirs.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I really love the way you put it. It's not like men and women are different species, we just really need to learn to communicate better.Amagine wrote:I would say that men and women are from the same planet.
