Not entirely off-topic

The article is simple to grasp in my opinion. When we are borned, we are equal. The way we perceive life is a learned behavior. for example, we are taught based on our sex how we are to act. Men- strength; Women-emotions these are just examples to stimulate thought. I agree with the writer the underline message here is everything we do is a learned behavior. Until, we stop labeling ourselves we will have this perception on gender differences.

The problem is labelling somebody as being "bigoted" or "sexist" just because they disagreed with you is wrong imo. It's wrong t'other way too.

I didn't label him bigoted or sexist because he disagrees with me. I said he sounded sexist because it appeared that he was brushing the issue aside as being irrelevant, or petty. Maybe that's not what he thinks, but in that case he needs to work on his delivery.

What's the big deal? Isn't the article just telling us that the media has done a poor job of explaining an extremely complex issue that has baffled scientists for centuries?

This is a surprise?

Men and women are different. They're very different. But they don't actually come from different planets. Thanks for the news flash.

Relax it's just a joke, in no way do I condone the message that's portrayed in this graphic.
