CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS : GENDER CONCEPTS

Amazing conversations with Ukrainian women the past few days. Pretty consistent:

(a) Men are, in the main, smarter than women – but when they say this, it means a compartmentalized view of intelligence – it’s technical and political. This opinion has taught me a little bit about american view of intelligence for women – it’s a very administrative and sales based view of the world world. Over here it’s a political and technical view.

(b) Women are much better at details – “this is a woman’s job, I must do this”. Meaning, “men are not able to do this well, women must do it”.

(c) Men smack each other. That is like women being emotional.They are things that happen.

I have heard this version of compatibilism a lot over here. There is nothing ‘negative’ about it at all. No animosity. No conflict. In fact, celebration of differences.

But I wonder – as a society becomes increasingly white collar and under greater rule of law, is gender competition then a natural evolution?
