I consider this much worse than racism. evil I do realize that there are actual differences in the structure and in the mind at the beginning of life. But people do have the ability to shape how they think. Boys can't give birth and girls can't....... do a certain thing that boys can do. I think that we should all try to treat each other exactly the same (when it comes to gender). It is a scientific fact (I think) that it is slightly easier for boys to become muscular and/or lose fat. This does not mean that girls cannot be just as muscular/fit as some boys are, it just means that they may have to work harder to do so. It is a scientific fact (I think) that it is slightly harder for boys to feel intense emotion. This is partially because of the way a lot of boys are brought up, but it does have a little bit to do with our actual... wiring, if you will. This does not mean that boys cannot be just as emotional/feeling as some girls are, it just means that they may have to work harder to do so. Besides, these small differences can be easily replaced by normal inheritence of genes. There may be a family that has a gene that makes the boys more emotional or there may be a family that has a gene that makes the girls more easily muscular. One of the ways that we could abolish sexism is if every person was a metrosexual. Another way that we could get rid of it would be to stop attaching different mentalities to gender at all. I would prefer the second choice. 3nodding
