The Same But Different

Which gender really is better, or are they the same?

Everything has 2 parts. An Orange has the juice and the pulp, a pair of shoes has a left and a right, humans have a man and a woman. Both totally different. While we may be the same race, men and women have astronomically different ways of living, mentally and physically. But how different are we, and why?

Yes, there has always been the question of “Who is Better” but no one has ever answered it. That’s because there is no right answer. Both sides are have just as many flaws as the other, along with strengths. Men may have attributes in their physical strengths, women have it in their mental abilities.

When I was 10, I was first told that I couldn’t play on the boy’s team because I was a girl. I didn’t want to be on the girls team because I had no friends on that side, non the less, I was put on the girls team. We played dodge ball and I bet you can guess who won.

Second grade, I signed up for a club. Computer time. I was the only girl in the room but that didn’t bother me. I didn’t notice it until I wasn’t picked to be in a group project because I was a girl. That’s the first time I realized that boys and girls are separate… Different.

Contrary to popular belief, a woman’s hippocampus (the center for learning and memorization) is larger than a man’s. While the man’s amygdala (the center for emotions) is bigger than a woman’s

So, why are females seen as more emotional than a man when in reality, men have more emotional outbursts than women?

“but women have periods” that isn’t enough information to convince the whole human race that one gender is better. No gender will ever be better than the other. Yes, it is more likely that, if 1 gender disappeared, women would survive much longer than men and could possible replicate sperm using female bone marrow. If women disappeared, a study was done in the University of Oxford where they found that men would last a week. They found that the leaders of each country would end up fighting with one another, then everyone would die off within a few weeks. There are some more gory details. But leaving it at that seems good enough.

So again, the question comes up “who is better?” Neither, we all still destroy the earth trying to make money and hurt others and pick ourselves before all else. The only way we could truly decide who is best is by taking the best of both genders and putting them into a person. See who is the best person when they have every good thing any gender has ever done in their heart.

But we can’t do that.

We can never know which gender is better because when we do find that out, they will be labeled as better and the otherwise, gets booted. If women were labeled as better, they’d turn into the men of the 1920's. Making men do what they ask and men being treated unfairly. So we keep is at “Different”

Men and women are different, women are the sweet orange juice, smooth but sticky which can sometimes be a pain. Men are the pulp, some people like it in their orange juice while others wont touch the glass if there is even one bit of pulp in the drink. While together or separate, they both can be enjoyed by some and not others. So we label them as different. We’ll never know what that means but as of now, it means peace.
