Men and women are not the same no matter how much you lie to yourself

Men and women not being the same is why things work as well as they do. Some people might feel like men and women don’t work together, but overall we do a good job. We fill in the gaps for each other and I think minus some atrocities here and there, society is pretty good.

It’s slowed down, but there have been people pushing the narrative that men and women are the same thing. This is and isn’t true and it never has been. Men and women are the same in a lot of ways and can do many of the same things, but at the core we’re different.

If we were the same we wouldn’t even be having the gender dispute. We have different needs, wants, and experiences that separate us more and more as our lives go on.

Then we have real genetic differences too. I am not an expert on this, I can just see the obvious. I’ve found out recently that men and women don’t even see colours the same way.

Different doesn’t mean better, although there are some things I imagine that the other gender could do with or without. Like I imagine women would love to get rid of period pains, and men would love to get rid of male pattern baldness.

The dangers of thinking men and women are the same
