Although we tend focus is on the differences between the sexes, and there are many studies that support our differences. In reality, these differences are more from learned gender behavior and the legitimate physical differences between men and women are used to divide us. Both men and women can be aggressive, nurturing, romantic, emotional, and even commitment adverse.

Socialization has made women the relationship caretakers. The social codes of conduct for men present them as in control and emotionally distant. As long as we hold onto these conditioned beliefs, we will not hear what the other has to say and continue to live within our illusions. So, is there really a battle of the sexes, where woman are from Venus and have to think like a men? Or is the battle within ourselves, and cultivating the ability to see our humanity which transcends gender roles and unites us all?

Join The FLOW, guests and callers on Heart of the Matter, the Relationship Magazine on Sunday, December 13th at 6PM as we explore What are men thinking…and, What Women Want Us to Hear.
