Gap
Human females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. These XX and XY configurations occur during fertilization, and a gamete contains either an XX pair of sex chromosomes or an XY pair of sex chromosomes. Right from that point, Everything during embryonic growth is determined by the pair of sex chromosomes. Anatomy, Physiology, Brain Functioning, Hormones, Emotions, and even Thought Patterns are expressions of sex chromosomes. The development of skin, hair distribution, gonades, bones, muscles, and blood takes a different path depending on which pair of chromosomes the embryo has.
Most male and female newborns exhibit distinct tendencies from an early age. Environment and social upbringing indeed play their role, but these roles are limited, and in most cases, they do not go beyond a specific limit. Yes, there are exceptions. But societies, while they must provide enough room for exceptions, are not built on exceptions. Norms beget norms. In a typical American household, most girls would love Barbie, while boys would prefer cars. Girls like to play house, and boys want to get engaged in shooting and fighting.
Genetic, hormonal, neurologic, cardiac, Orthopedic, and muscular differences are remarkable. It is not a matter of good or bad, better or worse, dominant or subjugate. It is a matter of difference. Males and females are different. Both have their unique qualities and weaknesses. They complement each other and together make a perfect natural bond. Good and bad, strong and weak are just labels. All male strengths are male strengths, and all female strengths are female strengths. None of these are proofs of superiority or inferiority over the other.
Compassion and care, without which the survival, growth, and prosperity of a species are impossible, are predominantly feminine characteristics. Strength and power are also critical, and these are predominantly male characteristics. Multitasking is predominantly a feminine characteristic, while males tend to focus on one task at a time. Under different circumstances, specific tasks, multitasking, or focus might be better fits. Therefore, males may excel at tasks that require intense focus, while females may excel at multitasking.
Human babies are born basically helpless, and human children require extensive and intense care for an extended period of time. Both parents must work together to raise a child successfully. Women tend to naturally prioritize caring for their children, family, and home. Men, on the other hand, are mainly interested in being the breadwinners, protectors, and “tough”. Mom’s arms, hugs, and kisses are where a child seeks comfort and peace, while Dad brings the elements of logic, discipline, and respect. None of these things is exclusive to men or women. We are talking about the predominant roles and generalized patterns.
A woman also wants to be loved, appreciated, and cared for. On the other hand, men have a natural inclination to enjoy and appreciate feminine beauty. Women like persuasion, and men want to be the pursuers. Women are often perceived as primarily emotional, while men appear as mostly logical. Together, they provide a beautiful mix for the family and kids. Women are mostly extroverted, while men are mostly self-absorbed. Social and personal status, and what people think and say about them, are critically important for most women. A woman must look beautiful to others, while men want to look strong.
These are the reasons why women are attracted to professions that primarily involve care and the expression of beauty. At the same time, men are more inclined towards fields such as math, engineering, and technology. Women literally dominate the care and beauty professions, and men tend to dominate the math, science, power, and technology-related professions. Healthcare, teaching, modeling, makeup, hairstyling, and beauty salons are areas where women have almost absolute domination. Men tend to dominate more in fields such as engineering, technology, math, construction, landscaping, and sports.
It was the inherent sense of inferiority in feminist women that labeled feminine qualities as inferior and masculine qualities as superior. Feminists told women that to be exceptional, they must look, talk, behave, work, think, and act and react like men. This is not a bad idea per se, but it must not be rooted in the thinking that man-like is better and feminine is worse. You cannot even come to this world unless a woman delivers you. You cannot survive unless a woman takes care of you in your early, helpless years. You cannot be competitive and have a good life unless a woman raises and trains you to the best. It is a woman who provides you with love, care, compassion, values, confidence, and the drive to grow into your best self.
Father, on the other hand, provides the appropriate financial resources, logical thinking, discipline, hard work, competition, and morality. He gives a sense of security and protection. He is the symbol and role model for strength and perseverance. He teaches you the problem-solving skills and how to ward off threats. He is the person to go to for things like math, sports, games, science, technology, and DIY. He teaches you how to navigate the world successfully, overcome the obstacles, and keep moving on and upward. Father often brings together the pieces of unsolved puzzles. Father may also be a good source for learning self-defense. He may also provide good moral, legal, educational, and technological advice.
The relationship and peaceful cooperation between them could serve as a role model for kids to learn how to build and maintain commitments at home, in the neighborhood, with friends, co-workers, relatives, and in public places. Both men and women bring a unique genetic, hormonal, neurological, cardiac, musculoskeletal, and emotional mix that provides an ideal environment for the little ones to grow in. The struggles they endure together, the happy times they share, the care they provide, the sacrifices they make, the love they share, and the protection and security they offer are critical to survival, growth, improvement, and prosperity. Men and women are complementary, but not the same at all. Their capabilities overlap in many ways, along with their unique qualities.
