the problem i have with gender neutralism is its only good if you assume men and women are always the same. From what I read we are both physically and mentally built very differently, and thus should expect to have different proficiencies in different areas. Obviously I don't mean Saudi Arabians shouldn't be able to drive, that's ridiculous. | ||

Sure, doesn't mean theres a problem with the concept of identifying with other men//women. the problem i have with gender neutralism is its only good if you assume men and women are always the same.

I think you ment to use the word female and male again. unless your still doing that thing where you insist on sounding uneducated to prove those hippy feminazis they can't get to you. No one said there's a problem with the concept of identifying with other men/women. Are you shifting this debate to bio truths now? | ||

I also think people should be taught differently, some people learn better in different ways. Men would be more interested in general, in writing about war and history and such, and women tend to prefer to write about personal experiences. HOWEVER this may be partially or fully based on being raised on gender roles (but its unproven one way or the other) | ||

But there are specific male/female characteristics. Even physically there are quite a few differences (and I don't just mean the body, but also the neurology). | ||

Your sex (physical body parts) don't have any bearing on your brain's makeup. That's like making different medicine for women because "they have weak womanly hearts, unlike men". I think you just can't wrap your head around the fact that your identity can be different than the plumbing you have going on downstairs. oh good Lord I stepped into this conversation. Anyone have pictures of puppies? | ||

Society seems to think that it does and the point is that it doesn't. On October 17 2013 06:23 Requizen wrote: oh good Lord I stepped into this conversation. Anyone have pictures of puppies?

Anyone have pictures of puppies? Womens and mens brains are pretty different, I remember reading some studies, something to do with grey matter being higher in women for one. I'm sure some other things. The fact that sex only affects physical characteristics is a very naieve view of thing since evolutionary it makes a lot of sense for sexes to act differently. (females look for alpha males, males just look to bang anyone etc) | ||

As for evolution, I like to think that we, as a society, have moved beyond the "best way to spread my seed" stage of humanity. If we were still banging rocks around a cave, sure I'd be with you, but this is fucking 2013 man. | ||

For little kids particularly, Boys/Girls typically have different maturity curves and need different amounts of activity to actually foster paying attention. | ||
