[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1726985, member: 12153"] die-kludge, I like you. Your argument has been refuted by a few people, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. There [b]are[/b] notable biological, chemecal, and behavioral differences between males and females, and there are many generalisations made to this effect. I agree with you, to a degree. However, I think it is important to point out that with so many people using small children in their examples it should not be forgotten that children can, and often do, act as caracatures of the gender stereotypes we posess as adults. It is one way that they can safely experiment with forming an adult personality and create complex social bonds with others. I've made many observations, watched television programs, and even read some un-named studies, and they've all lead me to believe that it's difficult to use children to discuss adult sexual differences because a little boy seems about as different than a girl as he is different from a grown man. Given that we're playing adult characters, the differences between children aren't terribly important to the discussion of how to properly portray an adult of the opposite sex, especially since small children are still learning how to 'properly' portray a member of their [b]own[/b] sex. Given all that, I still stand by my statement that, though there are differences, they are small. This just tickles me. I can't help but smile at that. I also can't help but smile at the fact that I've been called she and he in the same thread. Though it has gotten a little antagonistic, I think this is a very good thread, and I'm pleased that it's gone so far and has shared this much information. - Kemrain the Ambiguous. [/QUOTE]
