Boys and girls are different

Given all the western scientific stuff and 60’s hoopla, fine, but boys and girls are different. One does not have to go to Sri Lanka to figure this out. Perhaps mother nature made us different. The political dimension about how to think is much more profound than east and west. Emancipation of women in the west means other profound values, as in, well, values. In today’s talk, females seem looser with older established western values than the males. Right or wrong, this is how it seems. And as much as I dislike it and even object to it, 50% of the population gets its say, at least in the west.

Recently this author could compare a son and a daughter in this vein. In the son’s case, he was on his way to JROTC Boot Camp, and his mother expected him to prepare, in his case to leave at 4 A.M to make it to “Boot Camp”. Given all flexibility, he punted and played video games, etc. He was at best worthless in this preparation. When his mother nailed him this early in the morning about the same, at least I had the good judgment to stay in another room and let him suffer what he deserved. It was an ugly picture.

And then there is the 3 years younger daughter getting ready for 4 weeks of girls camp. She has already set up checklists from the Camps’ checklist, plus packing lists, etc. Even the old time idea of “trunks” has come up. However it sorts out, she will probably be ready for girls camp. Forget all the internet shopping.

Boys and girls are different. The political expression of equality of opinion should be interesting. Many are not hopeful.
