Which gender is the real representative of a human being?

Question

Suppose a being came to visit from another dimension, and could only communicate with ONE person to learn about human beings.

Which gender is more representative of a human mammal in terms of physical form, mental abilities, behavioral traits etc ?

Advantages of using a male: a physically lean but muscular body, and a beard is very representative of a male mammal. He could talk about all the achievemenhts males have made in science, philosophy, psychology etc.

Advantages of using a female: She could talk about childbirth, very representative of a mammal, but that's about the only real gender-specific accomplishment.

Answer 1

Both genders because that's how God created, "Adam & Eve." That's how woamn and man procuate and bring new life into this world. Either form can be just as strong in some areas by practice and hard work. Both forms can learn anything with proper education and study. Facial hair is not an advantage instead it was made to protect the sensitivty of the female and male s*x organs. (For example, some women feel extrme pain after shaving their gentila hair because the hair protects these sensitive areas, same as men, the hair protects the sensitive male s*x organs.

Either gender could discuss such topics as science, math, history, culture, geography, s*x education equally as long as they both are subject to the same educational materials.

The women could discuss the pain she may suffer delivering the child and how the male comforts her and while she is caring for the child as found in nature when animals and birds protect their eggs, and offspring. They work together as man and woman should to protect their offspring and teach them everything they need to know before leaving their nests, trees, or habitat to become adults.

If a woman desires not to have a child, in today's society, that is her right to do so. Maybe the conditions are not feasible or funding is not available or the man just leaves her alone and doesn't want the child for some reason. She stills has that right as all women should have.

Answer 2

Send the hot, naked man. I'm sure the aliens would like to eye up his muscles.

I'd think the male body is more machine-like because of muscle definition and this would interest aliens far more than the female body which is found beautiful because it's sexual attractive to humans.

Answer 3

Only a man would work, women would just want them to hear all about her day, and how she had been multi-tasking better than men

He/she would get bored and head down to the pub

Answer 4

Send Stephen Hawking.

Answer 5

Those alien women are sooo s**y and seductive and beautiful. Once you've been with one of them you'll never again look twice at a 'human' female.

Answer 6

The female.  We want the first contact to be non-threatening. Send a woman.

Answer 7

Are you kidding?

Neither is more "representative" of the human race because one can't exist without the other. Both male and female constitute humanity, not either or.

Answer 8

There is no one gender or person that would be able to give these extra terrestrials all of the needed information.

Answer 9

If they are advanced enough to make it to earth they'll see through men's BS so we better send a woman.

Answer 10

Neither. You'd have to find a hermaphrodite or have it meet both.

Answer 11

Good question.  I won't answer it yet, but I'd be interested in comparing a list of female vs male descriptions of what it is to be human.

Answer 12

Whichever one you're not.  What kind of answer were you looking for?

It will be so nice when school starts again.

Answer 13

A female, because that would eliminate the option of an alien abducting me

Answer 14

you need both but i guess a man

Answer 15

with they questions and answers I have read here,I have to say neither,because nobody acts like human beings.

Answer 16

If we want them to consider us as intelligent lifeforms, make sure they never come into contact with women.

BUT i agree that neither are good examples, hopefully the first mammal they meet will be a duck billed platypus.

Answer 17

That would be the female as she is the one who carries and gives birth, and she would be the one that I believe would be the first interest, but also feel they would also consult with the male !  Hope this helps!!

Cheers !!

Answer 18

I'm just awfully worried they would meet Bush or Cheney first and think that they are human or that they represent the rest of us.

Answer 19

Obviously, neither could give an alien a complete picture of humankind.
