Men and Women are just different

Are women better then men. No, but the same is true if you reverse the question. Men and Women are better at different things because we evolved that way. Men typically have a better sense of direction because our ancestors needed it to hunt and find their way back home. Women have a better sense of color because they had to see the difference in the food they were picking. Red means savory, but burgundy means death. Also women are better at multitasking, but men have a better sense of spatial reality. There are so many different things that make men and women different, but instead of trying to work together the media tries to pit us against each other so they can make money.

I actually hate the term Gender Wars. I think that a lot of the problem is the media preys on people who are confused. Men and Women are different that is a fact. The media likes to play up these stereotypes and it's a major cash cow. We as a society spend billions, not millions, but billions every year on different products to winning/understanding the opposite sex. Advertisers spend millions on psychological studies just so they can prey on stereotypes to sell products because they know it's big business.

It’s been my experience that within the last 10 years there has been this shift in thinking with the people in America. People are more understanding towards gender issues that used to be ignored. A big part of that is the Internet. Over the last 10 years America has been wired to the net and allowed people to see another side of life that they might not have been able to see. They can see other people’s opinions other then the opinions of their friends and family. Maybe in another 10 years this won't be even be a debate.

1) How many people have bought/read magazine articles or books on understanding your mate?

2) Do you think the Internet has made things better or worse in changing the people's views on gender stereotypes?
