As I discussed in this post, some people seem very attached to the idea that men and women are the same and that we only act differently because we are taught to.
Are men and women different? Obviously, physically, yes. But I believe it goes much deeper than that and the time I have spent reading up in the manosphere has confirmed that – men and women think very differently from each other. Here’s a good post at a controversial, but eye opening, manosphere site on that very topic.
I can even see this while observing toddlers interact at my daughter’s preschool. At ages 2-5, it’s possible that these children have picked up some gender social cues but I think their behavior at this age is fairly uninfluenced.
The girls and boys interact and there are degrees of these behaviors from child to child but in short the boys are much more physically active, build things, stack blocks vertically into towers, interact with each other physically, change activities frequently, and in general roar about like little warriors.
The girls are more likely to sit and engage in quiet activities, enjoy imaginary role type games, play dress up, stack blocks horizontally, interact with each other verbally, and engage in more subdued activities.
Nobody tells them to do this, they just do it. All of the activities are open choice and there are no rules that the boys need to do this and the girls need to do that, they just do.
My theory is that a lot of the problems in the modern dating and relationship realm are caused by this misinformation that men and women are the same. That denying these differences makes men and women somehow more equal. Poppycock.
What it’s done is left women acting more like men and men acting more like women, a sort of coming to the middle that isn’t really working for either side.
What’s so wrong about admitting that men and women are different? That maybe they are two parts of a larger whole? And that it works best when women act like women and men act like men?
Oh wait I know, because that’s sexist. Or something. Okey dokey.
Ladies, if you want your relationship
Let those who have ears hear.
Fifteen years ago or so, there was a move to give toy trucks to girls and dolls to little boys. The goal, we were told, was to raise the boys to being more nurturing and expose the girls to ‘male-dominated’ fields of employment.
The children, however, did not get the memo.
The boys clamored for toy trucks and the girls wanted dollies.
Thanks for posting that, Outstanding Bachelor. It’s true, one can lead a horse to water but… researchers just can’t seem to get the boys to go for the pink and purple sparkly ponies like the girls do. Lol. I enjoy reading your blog as well, lots of great insight there.
redpillgirlnotes,
Something tells me that this cub is a boy. What do you think?
And I bet the one sitting at the base of the tree watching is likely a girl, do you think? Momma Bear is right on it too, love it! Thanks for sharing that 🙂
