Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, Turns Out We are Both from Earth
According to Dr. Frank Farley of Temple University,
Exaggeration of the differences between men and women, boys and girls, has allowed both genders to be put into separate boxes, and be victimized by stereotypes and prejudice, treated as if they were from separate planets. However, it turns out they are both from Earth! Solid psychological research now shows there are few significant psychological differences between the genders. But we can expect it to take a few decades for that scientific fact to cut through the prejudices, and allow both genders a fair place in the sun.
The above quote is certainly food for thought and exemplifies what I have always suspected. Maybe someday men and women will be able to work together to move humanity forward quickly. We should focus on playing to our individual strengths rather than gender.
