RE: The Problem of Assuming that Female Behavior is the Default
Have you seen the movie Wonder Woman? I believe that movie portrays a lot of truth about the state of the world in terms of man's default approach to solving problems being violence and war. Whereas if women had been making the decisions, or at least consulted, the world would be a much kinder, gentler, and more peaceful place to live. Also, it may be man's over dependence on violence and taking action that has forced women to counter balance that with too much passivity... (to avoid utter violence and chaos throughout society and the world)
i wrote an article with more of my ideas on how we arrived at this point...
I have seen the movie. I think you make a very good point in that instance. It is definitely true that to some degree the way that women have been taught to act is in response to how some men act. It is definitely good to consider how society has, at least to a large degree, led to these differences. As I said in the article, I do believe that there is some legitimacy to the idea that we should think about how to mollify how violently many men react to things. I think the only difference we might have is that I think there would be a lot of problems with women making the decisions too - just different problems. I like how Eastern Philosophies tend to talk about balance between male and female, that is more what I am going for here.
Thanks for the input. Your article is a bit long, but I'll check it out later.
