Boys are critical to survival. Boys are more significant in society than females because they tend to draw more attention than girls. Boys are more likely to be loud and forceful, whereas girls are less likely to be so. Men who are the most assertive and dominant tend to be outstanding providers for their families. Women who are gentle and nurturing are best able to care for children. In addition to this obvious fact, there are several other reasons why boys are more important in society than girls. First of all, men make up 95% of the world's population. This means that if women were as important as men in society, then only 5% of the population would be looking after 95% of the resources. Secondly, women have always been considered to be inferior to men. This is shown by the fact that even now when many people believe in equality between the two sexes, there are still laws in some countries which treat women differently from men. For example, in Saudi Arabia, it is illegal for a man to divorce his wife. If a woman wants out of her marriage, she can ask for a divorce, but a man cannot do so unless his wife causes him to lose his temper by hitting or kicking him. As you can see, since women are usually viewed as being less important than men, it isn't surprising that they find fewer opportunities available to them. There are actually far more jobs available in society than there are people to fill them.
