Hi Islame,
Interesting thought. What if a girl or boy was raised without them or anyone else knowing which they were.
Perhaps, but your experience is based on existing cultural prejudices which may have cause of these differences. I am yet to be convinced that if a girl is brought up as a boy, dressed like a boy, told she is a boy (as a child!), whether in this case any differences will be seen.
I have seen many women who are more 'man' than women I know, and vice versa which points to a similar makeup
It seems I have a distant memory, during my teens, of reading a novel about just such a case. Actually I think it was about a group of children, both boys and girls, raised with out the normal cultural gender prejudices. To bad the memory is too distant to remember any of the details.
In reality I don't think such an experiment could not be carried out. We are both our genetics and our culture.
I think I was raised for the most part by liberal parents that didn't inflict to many gender boundaries.
I'm much better at math and science then I am at languages. A variance from the traditionally held point of view.
I'm a nurse now but my very first job I was the 11th woman hired by the state of California for freeway maintenance. From a traditionally man's job to a traditionally woman's job. But that is not what determines who I am and how I feel.
Be that as it may be.
I think woman and men are different form a basic biological stand point. There are differences in how women and men experience some illnesses such as heart disease. Another good example of differences is the parts each play in procreation. The way body fat is stored on a woman compared to a man is different, can't be changed and still be healthy. This hoever has nothing to with superior and/or inferior. I think it just has to do with different.
Do you have children? Do you think your daughter could be a good national leader? do you encourage her to a traditioally male profession?
until next time Lynna.
