Misunderstanding Men And Women

Misunderstanding Men and Women

Since the beginning of biological time, males and females have had noticeable and unnoticeable differences.  These differences have caused conflicts, which have endured time and are still a part of our modern everyday lives.  However, the discord has become more defined than what is characterized as a woman and a man.  In order to attempt accordance between the sexes, it is essential that we educated ourselves in the true meanings of men, women, masculinity, femininity and the power aspects involved.

Before going into detail on the many differences between being a man and a woman, one must carefully examine the proper definitions of masculinity and femininity.  These terms are common “falsely understood” words that no one has taken the time to define yet everyone uses on a daily basis.  All human beings are classified by their biological and psychological sex.  A biological man is a person born with the male genitalia, as a biological woman is a person born with the female genitalia.  A biological male person along with a biological female person are needed to reach the goal of biological sexuality:  procreation.  On the other hand, a psychologically male person is a person that believes he or she is a male and vice versa for a psychologically female person.  Psychological sexuality is about the personality traits that distinguish many men and women.  For example, women are often more intuitive than men.  Men often are better at spatial relationships than women.  These two are needed for the psychological sexuality goal:  making a love relationship.

Femininity can be defined by such feminine traits as being soft, nurturing, intuitive, accepting and empathetic.  Being stoic, analytical and public are traits generally associated with masculinity.  Hence, from the previous definitions we can say that a “man” is a psychologically masculine person.  He can be either biologically feminine or masculine.  A “woman” is a psychologically feminine person.  She can be either biologically masculine or feminine.

A greatly noticeable difference between men and women is the power aspects of masculinity and femininity.  Men seem most comfortable in situations where the power structure and its laws are clear to them.  Competition is another trait of the masculine personality.  He competes in order to gain control since, according to him, the strongest and most dominant person leads and makes all the important decisions.  When working in groups with other men, he believes that the absence of rules will lead to the most aggressive person, rather than the best leader, gaining control of the group.  When working with other women, however, he usually wants to know whether a biological female wants to be treated like a man or like a woman.

A power aspect of the feminine power style or femininity is cooperation.  When a woman cooperates she is submitting to the will of the other person in the expectation that the other person will take her needs and wants into consideration.   When women cooperate with each other they are submitting to the combined will of the two people in the relationship (which includes her, of course, so she has a say in the decision-making process.)  During group work, women have consensus decision-making.  Each person takes responsibility for making sure that everything is shared equally.    Women are capable of working well together without rules or establishing a hierarchy. ...
