Aren't the differences in men and women more a matter of mismatch of life phases?

Question

To explain what I am talking about....

When two humans are born they both possess the same abilities as newborn babes but one is female and one is male. As children they exibit the usual tendancies seen in thier gender.. as teens females are seen as maturing somewhat faster in the area of relationships and males are seen to be more receptive in areas of science and math (not all mind you but most), this emotional maturety doesn't level out until probably thier 30s while during the 20s and 30s women are found to , when given the education needed become equal with men in areas such as science and math. By the time people reach thier 50s and 60s they are capable of attaining the same level of growth in all areas and are probably closer to the same level as they were as newborns. Nature needs women to be more mature in relationships during those age groups due to the fact it is probably a matter of survival of young if they are born during that life phase of women. Can you see it?

Answer 1

Are you comparing maturity levels, ability levels or traits?

All of this seems overly simplistic to define such a vast topic.

Answer 2

I can partially agree with you. I agree that people need to be who they are.  I disagree that nature does this.  I believe that society and its "because he is a boy" or "because she is a girl" develops the teen boy and girl.  I think once we become more mature adults we tend to shake off society and become who we are supposed to be.  I do not believe that teen girls are developed faster in relationships because this is the best time for them to have babies.  I think when kids have babies they cheat both out of full development.

Answer 3

Men and women are different period. You can say what you want but they are different and it is a good thing.

Answer 4

generalsing is the problem with these questions. There are things that men do and things that women do. Those are the basics. We learn through personal contact during one on one relationships. what we learn about one person may vary with another. There are holes in that theory. A man may be a better nurturer than a woman. a woman may be handier than a man. some women may be better at being astronauts than a parent. too many variables.

Answer 5

I think a lot of it is social conditioning whe nregards to maturity. It's socially acceptable for 'men to never grow up' and get drunk, mess around and play video games. Wheras women are meant to be more grown up.

As a respectable married businesswoman there's a kind of embarassment about admitting that I still play video games, do fun/stupid things and get intoxicated. But who cares, I want to have fun so I don't really care what others think.
