The differences between gender is apparent from the outset and that outset being early childhood more commonly known to us as babies. Right a question for take for example you have a 1 year old girl or boy of your own would you put your Barbie in a nappie meant for the opposite sex, the designs are the same purely on the principle of the colour difference eg. pink and blue? Well market research has revealed that many parents refuse to put baby boys in pink nappies (Soloman, 2006, p. 312)! This may seem ludicrous to yourself or even agreeable, but the companies creating the products for the consumer have installed a fix view about whats a male product and whats a female product in this case pink nappies for the girls blue nappies for the boys and consumers conform to these methods to help them choose the right product for the right sex even to extent were it could be deemed as wrong to put a boy in girls nappie or the other way round.
Sometimes we must just accept the simple genetic differences between genders and that somewhere in are DNA we are drawn towards different types of product purely based on human instinct and the way we have evolved. To expand on the previous sentence take food for example market researchers have observed when comparing the food preferences of both men and woman. Woman eat more fruit than men, men are more likely to eat meat. As one food writer put it, 'boy food doesn't grow. Its hunted or killed". Men are more likely to eat frosted flakes or corn flakes, while woman prefer multigrain cereals (Soloman, 2006, p.215). Also the sexes differ on the portion side of food men have greater portion as they perceived to want to be big and strong whilst woman have smaller portions to stay dainty and feminine. I mean is this just because of the way we evolved i suppose you could say men are naturally stronger physically there is no way to argue that its not just a installed view companies advertising and marketing teams its been apparent since the stone ages, the point I am trying to make is that is what decision are made on the way we conform to society's view upon our sex and what decisions are made by natural genetics of being a certain sex. Is the fact males eat frosted flakes rather than multigrain cereals a natural choice or the way company's makes the product seem to the consumer more fitting for a man rather than a woman?
The views I have expressed so far yes are some what stereotypical of what a man or a woman generally do. But sexual identity is really just as much a state of mind than it is of body especially in the 21st century were alot of males are now consider metro sexual by the way they look after them selves like the use of cosmetics also the clothes for men tend now to be more feminine and the way today's man expresses his emotions can be more sensitive and lady like. The common term used for this is sex typed traits the condition in which a gene responsible for a specific trait is located on a sex chromosome, resulting in sex-linked inheritance of the trait (answers.com 2010) which actually means some male chromosomes can be affected by female gene and where as females also can be effected by male genes. So its proven scientifically that although male or female you can have common traits of both sex's purely through the biology of the human body. So guess that why you always have the random young boy that wants a barbie and the random young girl who wants an action man not through company's influence on the toy market and advertising but just genetic make up, all the company's do is make the products that naturally girls or boys would be more attracted to due to our genetic makeup its our choice as consumers to decide whats right for us.
Females vs MALES
What makes a female tick is question that been puzzling me since puberty and no matter how old I get they never seem to out stand me with their differences and I am yet still the none the wiser to what goes on in the minds of females and the emotions they feel. Where as females seem to have us sussed out probably because most men are driven by testosterone and general lack of emotions compared to woman who's brains work at million miles an hour and want to no every detail of every please take a look at this clip funny but so true.
And think that's a nice way to end this blog stereotypically the difference has always been apparent but I think our genetic makeup makes us either more masculine or more feminine no matter what sex you are Its what we feel inside that really counts.
