A woman s greater imagination can solve intractable problems be they professional or domestic at one apparently intuitive stroke. The best argument for the acknowledgement of differences is that doing so would probably make us happier. The appreciation, for instance that sex has different origins, motives, and significance the context unnatural to the biology of the male, might make us better and more considerate husbands and wives. The understanding that the roles of father and mother are not interchangeable might make us better parents. The biggest behavioral difference between men and women is the natural, innate aggression of men,which explains to a large degree their historical dominance of the species.
Men didn t learn aggression as one of the tactics of the sex war.
We do not teach our boy children to be aggressive indeed, we try vainly to unteach it. Even researching most hostile to the acknowledgement of sex differences agree that this is a male feature, and one which cannot be explained by social conditioning. All, they felt, was going well, until they sneaked into the playroom and saw that he had set out a battle royal between the regiments of the toy teachers and the model bureaucrats. The child was lucky, in that his parents in the end saw the futility of trying to make him something he wasn t, nor could ever be. We are an arrogant species.
