What you have written is so

What you have written is so true. I too beleive that the diffences between men and women are very minor. You just have to examine the lives of some of the women leaders to realize that they can be just as good as men. There are some very successful CEOs who are women.I have been taught math and computers by many excellent women professors. I have met many kind men who are very good at understanding emotions which is considered women's forte.

I think you guys should

I think you guys should definetly check out 'Shere Hite', she's great but she never gets acknowledged!!
But, otherwise, great writing and great study!!

Much appreciation,
Jake
P.S Although, we know that women are the better sex.

Shere Hite

Hi Jake, Thanks so much for mentioning Shere Hite. I think she's done interesting work and should definitely be checked out. One of the areas that Hyde did find some significant gender differences was in the area of sexuality. Best, Daisy

Brava!

Thanks for summarizing this study. I totally agree with your conclusions.

Her credentials are from YALE. From where are your credentials? :-)

"P.S Although, we know that women are the better sex."
This is the kind of little joke, that helps to build differences...

Ah, and I know a lot of women that disagree with you.

Still, I liked the proposal of this article. I always felt in someway, that this differences someday would be questioned, so that this silly "war of genders" could end.

Thank you
