Today, we had a guest speaker to share some information about how men and women are different from each other biologically. I always thought that Sex and Gender are two different things, one is biological, and the other one, is socially constructed. However, after today, I realized that gender is totally related to sex. Our mind and body affect the way we act. Men's brains allow men to be 'more organized' and women are more 'emotional'.
Also, sciences have proofed that gay people are 'born' to be gay. So doesn't that mean their minds are like women and their body are like other mens? Some gay men are more dominated, like most men, while the other gay men are more submissive, like women. And what about Bi-sexual people? How can biologists explain this?
Couple things to keep in mind. First of there is finding differences and proving causalty. Just becaues there are differences doesnt necessarily tell us what behaviors those differences are resposiblity for -- if any. There are a number of issues around the brain search that are important to consider. Additionally don't forget Dave's comment that biology is 10% -- 90% is culture, environment etc.
