> Would it be positing to tentatively suggest that men don't generally like to do things that they don't think they are good at, whereas women innately like to see a project successfully managed I personally think that (a) nobody likes to do things they are not good at -- neither men nor women to an equal measure, and that (b) from a very young age, girls are encouraged to rely on other people for help and support, are taught that other people are important, and that it is important to be nice them. In addition, most girls in Western culture acquire far more superior image-making skills to those of boys since they learn how to present themselves at a relatively young age and since they compete with their peers on this basis, while boys compete mostly on who is physically stronger (a culture of violence). In addition, anti-social behaviors in boys such as physical intimidation tend to be looked over the shoulder while they are strongly discouraged in girls. TL;DR: Men in our culture (except gay men) often never learn how to be social and how to communicate with people. Another TL;DR: I can't understand how so many people tend to their children in completely different ways depending whether the child is a boy or a girl, and then act all surprised when they hear how gender-divided the society is. |

I give my kids (IMO) more or less equal care but the divisions are still there. It's in the toy aisles, the clothes, the TV/movies, etc.
