Men are from Mars women are from venus
Men are from Mars and women are from Venus is a very popular book by John Gray that suggest that men and women are so different that they might as well come from different planets. I believe that men and women are different because of our biological make-up that makes us think differently and view things in different aspects. However, I do believe that we are all human beings, and I don’t mean that in a philosophical way but in the way that as humans we all have the same needs. I think that social stigmas have made us think that we are more different then we actually are. “Both biological and social factors have influenced the division of labor by sex, and the division of labor provides the basis for gender stratification by affecting the degree to which each sex is able to acquire and control the valuable resources of a society”(Marini 1990). Due to this Marini suggests that men have been in a better position to acquire valuable resources, which in turn has made them the dominant gender.
However, through our evolution as humans men and women’ roles have changed. Women have become more independent and to a certain extent treated as equal. Although we are still not at a time of full equality, you see more men being stay at home dads and more women becoming primary household earners. According to the pew research center, more men are increasingly finding themselves with more household duties. Since 1965 men have nearly tripled their time spent on weekly domestic contributions (Modern Parenthood: Live Discussion Transcript).
Michael Kimmels argument is that men and women are more similar then we are different. He also argues that women have higher expectations of their counterpart nowadays. I believe that most of this comes from the social influences that the media gives us. Too often people see the love in a movie and think that that’s the way it’s supposed to be constant butterflies and spontaneous speeches and continual gestures of love. Even from a young
