Being Men & Women
Men and women have fundamental differences that are essential for families and for society. The reality of these differences is very hotly debated, but it is quite evident in science and to me throughout my daily experiences. They exist and have always played a large role in how culture functions. Not only Western/American culture either, you can see these differences show up in all cultures around the world. Some of the contention in this topic seems to come from the idea that the values that one gender has to offer are somehow more or less valuable than that of the other. This is not true! The unique differences of men and women are each wonderful and of immense value to build not only strong and functioning societies, but people as well.
