Historically, throughout the early centuries, the terms gender and sex were an essential element in distinguishing the overlap between gender differences. Matlin's book, Psychology of women, explains that women's gender similarities are at most similar to men's, since culture influences an individual's beliefs; women are expected to behave as the culture allows us to (Matlin, 2008, p.8). In contrast, the book also reveals that women and men are different from each other in terms of social and intellectual skills based on biological inheritance (Matlin, 2008, p.9). Both perspectives provide valid reasons in terms of the roles that men and women play in society. Although feminists and women's psychologists suggest that men and women are exactly the same, there is nevertheless a strong statistical correlation linked to the comparison of men and women according to their different brain wiring, their strength and their endurance (York, nd, para.10). ).Effects of Brain Wiring on SexSexual differentiation often characterizes the behavior of men and women based on sex hormones, primarily estrogen and testosterone, which take place in the uterus. This explains why boys play with cars and girls play with dolls. Feminists tend to argue that this is due to social stereotypes, but alarming scientific findings have shown that it may be due to hormones (York, nd, para. 18). In fact, studies have found that problem-solving tasks are different for women and men. Women use problem-solving tasks in both of their hemispheres, while men use only one hemisphere. There is also frequent evidence that men are better at spatial and mathematical skills. On the other hand, females are considered better in vocabulary......middle of paper......stics of both males and females. For this reason, women and men are greatly influenced by the perspective of differences. ReferencesCorley, A. (2011, June 10). An imperfect feminism. Accuracy in the media.
