I ve got this book here called The moral sense . Basically, it says what an enormous role women play in giving a moral sense to the community. For example, in the school yard, if the boys are playing a game, they ll play to the end and they ll learn to play by the rules. Boys don t cry because the rules are that if you ve lost, well you ve lost. You come back next time, you play the game, you sort out who the leader is and you follow the leader.
Girls are entirely different.
They choose simpler games, but if someone bursts into tears and says, I don t like this game, I don t want to play any more, then the head honcho of the girls will probably say, well let s go and play another game. What s important to the girls is keeping the networks together, keeping the communication lines open, not winning the game. The adversarial system taken to its extreme by some of the boys is pathetic. Some say the job of Opposition is to oppose, no matter what the issue. Well that s just ludicrous.
