What
is Gender?
Sociologists
convinced me in the 70’s that gender differences are a result
of conditioning – the way we are brought up. That boys and girls
are treated differently. If we weren’t, the theory states, we
would behave the same and have similar characteristics. Since
working with hundreds of young people, I disagree! This perspective
seems way off the mark. Males and females are undoubtedly different!
