I think that girls and boys, men and women, are inhernently similar. But as they grow up, they grow more and more apart due to social pressures. I think as youngsters, children are sort of blank slates. But as time goes by they are pressured to act the way their parents think they should act. And when they get older, it's self perpetuatiing. girls and boys (boys especially) want to be as far on their end of the spectrum as possible, because thats what all their friends want, too. That is so dumb. We are all driven by normal biology. You don't see animals adopting this behavior. A male horse doesnt act any different than a female horse. And I'm not talking about the instintual competetiveness you see in Bucks tying to fight to impress the female. Thats different. Females are competitive, too. My argument is that people are forced to act a certain way early on, its self perpetuating in society, and the few who diviate, have to suffer for it, and I dont think that is right.
