well I believe that in studies of modern indigneous peoples which have given us insights into prehistoric communal behavior, women were gatherers also. they did hunt if men were away...on a hunting party for example, or at war..............

Once agriculture developed women also participated in farming and harvesting

I think both men and women display the fight or flight response, and men capable of emotion, but there may be a tendency for the responses to be stronger according to gender or also training and socialization can intensify or direct those responses

I also think how we react to each other is a good example - men will show a flight response if a woman is upset with him because he may not be as emotionally mature, and because he can't wrap his mind around what he sees as a "fight response" from a woman....when all we are doing is asking a question....laugh


Very true. In the early 1800's the women split the wood noway


yes, my undergraduate degree is in history with a minor in psychology

Raising one of each gender child on a single parent environment with same toys, etc convinced me long ago that we are hardwired differently. Different isn't necessarily bad...it's just DIFFERENT.


I have mixed feelings here because I didn't see a lot of gender differences until the kids were a little older and by then had started school where I was not the only one socializing them. As young children they were raised gender neutral by me

one of my sons was the best behaved as a kid - actaully they all were - but as far as the compliance usually attributed to girl children - he had the quality the strongest

These days, most Ladies are harder then Men. It's usally the Lady that will stand up and fight. And most Men I've seen are like pansys laugh


Yep, I agree. Most guys I met can't fight there way out of a wet paper bag. Me; however I am damn fiesty. Although I wonder how my brainwaves would stack up against a typical woman as I am a Tom boy at heart and not very emotional. I seldom ever cry and have never shed a tear over deaths of friends and family. Would I have masculine traits or is it just the military that has made me so hard?
