Boys and Girls

Boys and Girls
Humans have come up with studies trying to figure out why boys are the way they are and why girls are the way they are. I agree that we’re all humans, all created in God’s image, I don’t dispute that. If well accept that we are born with different sexual reproductive organs, then why do try to uncover what really makes us different. Are we not satisfied with what is in front of us?
The belief has become widespread, particularly in the wake of the publication of international bestsellers such as John Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus that stress the innate differences between the minds of men and women. But now a growing number of scientists are challenging the pseudo-science of "neurosexism", as they call it, and are raising concerns about its implications. These researchers argue that by telling parents that boys have poor chances of acquiring good verbal skills and girls have little prospect of developing mathematical prowess, serious and unjustified obstacles are being placed in the paths of children's education.
Well I might not be so blessed to have witnessed to different sexes grow in front of my eyes, maybe I could have been given an opportunity to conduct my own study, according to my observation of my children. However I am raising boys. However as much as they are both boys, I am raising two different individuals. I am only reminded that they are boys when I help them bath, but in my eyes I see two children, who are defining their own path, discovering what makes them happy and what makes them sad.
We try so hard to find differences instead of letting nature take its course, instead of encouraging young minds to be themselves, they grow up being so conscious of their sexuality, that pressure posed to them overwhelm them.
