Gender and Family Life

The first question that we were asked in class this week was How does gender influence your family? Next we were asked Why should women and men work primarily together in society vs. men and men or women and women?
There was a quote used by Gloria Steinham and it stated, "We badly need to raise our boys to be more like our girls" Why do you think this is?
                   *assumptions
                             -girls are raised better
                             -all nature (born that way)
                             -girls are better
                             -equality= same or fair
As females we tend to be more expressive, verbal, we use our emotions and landmarks and we are relationship oriented. Men are aggressive, suppression, spatial oriented and task oriented. As men and women is this life, we have different personalities and goals. We fill in each others gaps where needed. Could you imagine if we were all the same?
