What I see as a large difference in males and
females is the way we are socialized.
Boys
·
When deciding who will be leader in a
social group choose their hierarchy by physical strength.
·
Settle disputes with acts of physical aggression.
·
Are taught emotions that often evoke
crying or tears should not result in shedding the tears, rather its more
suitable to respond with anger.
·
Its not acceptable to hit girls.
·
Be a winner no matter what it cost and
never give up.
·
Be loyal to friends but always be your
own person.
Girls
·
Decide on hierarchy with manipulation or
diplomacy.
·
Settle disputes with conversation.
·
Are taught its acceptable to cry when
emotions bring tears.
·
Be good at what you are good at.
·
Fighting is unladylike and unacceptable.
·
Be a loyal friend even if it means self-sacrifice. Being a people pleaser is important and will
make you popular.
Does any of this sound true to you?
