Answer 1

I think he was a very gifted man and this statement proves to be true to this day. Everything we do reflects a particular behavior. Being a female, I feel we look for more of a committed relationship. I am also interested in the males point of view.

Answer 2

I believe you that guys and ladies can't be identical conveniently considering they're specific. From what I found out in kindergarten, specific is the reverse of identical so feminists do seem foolish looking to advertise equality. Even the phrase feminism has a connotation of feminine superiority. Another factor I found out in kindergarten is that recognize have to be earned, now not demanded. There is not any such factor as identical possibility. Do you fairly consider that you just had the equal possibility as Lebron James to make the NBA or the equal possibility to overcome Shia Labeouf for the lead position of Transformers? I feel the nearest factor we will get to is equity. Ability gets you to the highest, however man or woman will hold you there.

Answer 3

The " battle of the sexes " is only that men and woman have a different reproductive strategy. All emerges from this. Look at homosexual men, with both partners have the same strategy ( do not be dichotomous toward sex and reproduction ) and this brings into sharp relief the difference between men and women in this " battle ".

Answer 4

In humans, males reach maximal fittness by producing any many offspring as possibily (because of the relative ease of planing ones seed and moving on), whereas females reach maximal fittness by having fewer offspring, but spending time raising them. Therefore, we have intersexual competition. In some species like the fruit fly it is so extream that the male's semen actually poisons the female during copulation to allow for maximal fertitlity of the male and prevent female rejection.

Answer 5

Our behaviors reflect our sexual displays. We display our behaviors (whatever they are) to attract the opposite sex.

Just like a male peacock display his colorful wings to attract the females. or The male frogs that make loudest sound can attract more female frogs and likely the females will choose to mate with frogs who make loudest sound.

Women wear makeups everyday is a form of displaying themselves to men or get the men attention. Same thing with men (though men don't wear make up but they can wear nice cloth, perfume, or expose their muscles, etc...)

Answer 6

Nature has made man powerful and strong and woman subservient and weak. Men can let women exceed them but only in beauty. It is the strength of a man that a woman needs. She needs a man who can help her out through thick and thin and who can bring to her feet the pleasures of the world.
