Gender misconceptions: Confusing chromosomes with culture

While it is true the human nature tends to label genders with certain characteristics even the most basic of studies and observation show there is a difference! The female of any culture has a more nurturing side. That does not mean all women want to be mommies. It means women have more of a sense of caring for feelings and hurts of others. They are natural problems solvers for emotional upsets. Women will protect the young from harm without thought to their own safety. But at the same time they will jeopardize their own life to please their male partner.


The males in nature seem to be natural hunters. They are the aggressors and very territorial within the tribe. They choose a female for the continuing of the species not to be shared with other males. It is a misconception males need more than one female to complete his family so to speak. Males are not more likely to have a higher drive than a female, but human progress lets him rationalize the theory for selfish reasons. Both male and female would be able to deal with multiple partners if morals were not an issue. Males are more likely to want control of it all where as females are content to control one situation at a time.
The goals are the same but they are approached differently by each gender. No matter what society tries to instill or resist a persons gender is going to play a major role in who they become. If our culture would put aside their ideas of male and female jobs we would find each will fall into a natural pattern. It would also open a lot of doors for career paths and exploration for both without stipulations.
