I think men and women would have a lot more in common if society did not
try to pigeon-hole children from a very very young age. My 5 year old
daughter recently had a 5th birthday party and you would not believe the
number of Barbie related presents she received.
Not that I am saying there aren't differences, just that maybe we
exaggerate the differences and tend to ignore the things we have in common.
