The 78 differences between men and women
Filed Under Humor | Leave a Comment
In mapping the human genome, scientists have found that there are 78 distinct genetic differences betwen men and women.
The BBC did an article where their readers submitted their suggestions about what some of those differences might be. Here are a few of my amusing favorites.
"Women can use sex to get what they want. Men cannot, as sex is what they want."
" Women have a built in calendar gene - we remember birthdays, anniversaries and appointments effortlessly."
" At weddings, women cry then get drunk. Men get drunk, then cry."
" Men need a round of applause for emptying the dishwasher. Women think E on the petrol gauge means enough."
As you can see, a lot of gender stereotyping going on here. But what I found interesting was, there was lots of "male bashing:" by women, and "women hating" by men… but there was also a lot of men making fun of men, and women making fun of women, and some people making fun of both genders in the article.
Finally, a group of people not taking gender differences too seriously.
