The ways that boys and girls are treated as small children is very different. But is there really a purpose for this? Why don't mothers paint their daughters bedrooms with firetrucks and baseballs? And why is it so frowned upon for young boys to enjoy ballet or figure skating? Many scientists believe that this is not biologically predetermined whether you adapt male or female tendencies. Which means that it is all left up to nurture. Our world would be extremely different if there was no gender distinction. Aside from reproduction, is there really a reason for separating males and females? Many women fight for equality; however, if differences in sex didn't exist at all...would our world really be better? I'd like to think that there are advantages to being separate. For one thing it certainly makes life more interesting and exciting. It also creates a more competitive atmosphere for mating. Perhaps society goes a little overboard on pink wallpaper for girls and thrusting baseball bats into boys hands practically as they exit the womb. Yet gender distinction keeps society moving smoothly. Interruptions in this order are not smiled upon.
