We're all created equal; we were all conceived as females FIRST
Binadamu wote inapotungwa Mimba basi mwili huwa ni wa kike kuanzia mimba ya mwezi mmoja.. kuhusu jinsia ya kiume hutokea pale tu hormone za kiume zikianza kujizalisha na kama hazijajizalisha basi mtoto hubakia wa kike hadi kuja kuzaliwa. hivyo katika uumbwaji wetu binadamu sote ni sawa...
The human body commences, genetically speaking, in female form. Transformation may occur during the second month of pregnancy: If testosterone is present, the child develops male external genitals; if absent, the child remains a female and her external genitals develop as such.
It's not uncommon for cultures to presume the sexes are distinct opposites. First, it simplifies roles which are identified as either "male" or "female" in nature. Second, this is the most efficient method of utilizing the supposed identified "strengths" of each sex and underplay the weaknesses.
Naturally, this narrow cookie-cutter mentality does not allow for the recognition or development of cross-gender roles or acknowledges the fact that men may own decidedly "female" strengths and vice-versa. In addition, it stymies further development of the culture in that, for example, had Americans remained of this mindset, women would not have worked outside of the home during WWI and thereafter, during a time when women had to fill the roles of their husbands serving in combat.
This mindset also stifles creativity. Each sex brings unique perspectives and experiences to problem solving, allowing for better options and decisions.
We need to openly accept and embrace the fact that women and men think differently because our brains and bodies are, in fact, different. That's not bad or good, it just is. If we openly acknowledge that fact, perhaps then we can rationally identify and utilize the strengths of each sex, underplay the weaknesses, and allow for cross-gender roles for those who exhibit the skills.
