Epiphany #4: Battle of the Sexes

Boys are from Mars, girls are from Venus... you know the drill. As we grew up, we were all trained how to tell boys from girls, and not allowed to mingle with the "other people" on many occasions by peers. Growing up in America, everyone knows that boys and girls are very different from one another. 

All of this  adds up to what we think of as the differences between men and women in today's world. The Earth is full of fighting back, retaliating, tolerating and trying to neutralize what it means to be a male or female. Today we have activists for both sexes, and the world is fighting about what it even means to be any one gender. 

My epiphany happened this week when I learned about the importance of the differences that seem to be so trivial. Men and women are different for a reason! We are meant to be different so that we can complete and compliment one another. Afterall, I don't think that one person could do all that two people of opposite gender could do. 

We need to stop seeing these differences as problems, and embrace all that we can be. We are who we are, and I personally believe that we are all that we have been forever. Gender is so important to who we as humans are in this world. It was not made to be unequal but to be equally yoked in everything that we do. We need to recognize that we are different, for that is what unites us.
