[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1725837, member: 945"] All right, I'll bite - I'll tell you that you're wrong. :) Society attempts to tell us that there are no differences between males and females. There have been numerous studies in recent years that show that babies will choose gender-appropriate toys when given a choice of several toys. My own daughter can be used as an example - she's the only girl in our whole block, and the daycare, who is our neighbor, has two boys of her own. Our daughter has absolutely no interest in cars or trucks or trains, or any other boy toys. She does, however, like dolls and pink things, even though we have never encouraged her to favor these toys over others. Most of the toys we have purchased for her, especially the ones from her infancy, are all gender-neutral. Most baby toys are really gender neutral anyway. Take a walk to the toy aisle and look at 3-month old baby toys and distinguish them between "boy" or "girl" toys. You can't do it, because they don't subdivide them out that way. Do any internet research, or library research on human development, and you'll find that boys and girls develop differently, and have different interests at different stages. Obviously, my own child is not proof of this, but there are numerous studies. Males and females are biologically hardwired to be different. Most of this research isn't well-publicized because it's not politically correct. From John Stossel's book _Give me a Break_: "My favorite experiments were the ones done at the university of Rochester and York University. Rochester students were blindfolded and then walked through a maze of tunnels that run underneath the campus. Then they were asked how to get to a particular college building. The men said things like "Go through the next doors, take a left and a right, then a left." Women said things like "How would I know?" Men's brains are somehow better at sensing where they are. Women, on the other hand, tend to have a better memory for detail. York University students were asked to wait two minutes in a cluttered room while an experimenter got something ready. That request was a trick. The real purpose of the test was to see what people remembered. After the students left the cluttered room, the experimenter asked what was in the room. Women gave stunningly detailed answers, like "On the right-hand side of the desk, right here, was a briefcase with your initials at the top. Then there was a clock with an 'I am 40' button on it. In the middle there were York University envelopes. There was a thing of Clearasil and a Bazooka Joe comic..." And so on. Men said things like "What was in there? I dunno... some stuff." " I have seen other research on TV. Next time you're with a group of mixed gender friends, have them pull out a blank sheet of paper, and tell them "from memory, draw as detailed a picture as you possibly can, of a bicycle." Men will draw amazingly detailed bicycles, and will show the gears, and the wheels, and the cables, and everything else that's on a bicycle. Some of the pictures you get back from women might not even look like bicycles. Women also have a very keen sense of smell, and can multi-task with far superiority to men. Men have a better sense of direction. My wife and I are testaments to the above. I can't smell worth a crap. My wife will be like, "it's time to clean out the litter box again." "How do you know?" "I can smell it" will be the response - our litter box is in the basement, and we never go down there. I can't smell it, but my wife sure can. There have been studies that pit men against women in performing mundane tasks like boiling water and making photocopies. Women will outscore men almost every time because they multi-task far better. When driving, my wife doesn't know north from south; east from west. Doesn't have a clue. She can't read a map to save our lives. Our recent trip to Minneapolis proved that. "where are we honey?" "Somewhere around here, I think", was the general response. "Does this intersect with I-35, or should I turn around?" "I have no idea". I forget the number of times I had to turn around because she couldn't keep track of where we were. So, given all that - do you *still* believe that men and women are born the same, and somehow "learn" their sexual differences? Some people on here are going to flame me for these comments, but they are based on scientific fact - period. [/QUOTE]
