As a result, women seek health care in much greater proportion than men. Men, on the other hand, traditionally shy away from the health-care system, and we are only now starting to understand why that is. Men tend to view partners and friends as primary health sources. When they do reach a physician, men tend to focus more on physical problems, and are less likely to discuss deeper emotional issues -- particularly if the physician is female. Perhaps most influential are perceptions around male masculinity.
Linda then conducted another study, involving both genders playing a game, and being awarded money; if the participants asked for more money, they would receive it. Again, the difference in male and female gain was extremely significant, by nine percent. In the end, Linda concluded that men tend to initiate negotiations and request what they want much more often than women do. The topic of “Women Don’t Ask” is that there is a significant difference between males and females when it comes to inquiring about the things they want. The thesis is, “More men ask.
That is, men and women, as well as boys and girls, are more alike than they are different” (Hyde, 2005, p. 581). To prove her hypothesis she focused on specific categories for possible similarities such as, cognitive variables, nonverbal and verbal communication, social and personality variables, psychological well-being, motor behaviors, and moral reasoning. My opinion of gender, prior to reading the article, men and women are far more different than others tend to want to believe. Women tend to be more driven by their emotions whereas men are driven more on their skills to problem solve and physical capabilities. That is not to say that there is not a sense of equality, but based on my personal observations a female has the tendency to be more capable of carrying out and following through with tasks more than a man.
When women worked in groups, their leadership and subordinate roles varied by offense. For credit fraud, women were just as likely to be leaders as subordinates, but for false claims, more took a subordinate role. By contrast, more men took a primary role in false claims offenses; but for the remaining offenses, men were just as likely to be leaders as subordinates. There is no variable in the data file for the gender (or race) composition of crime groups; thus, the proportions of men and women working in same- or mixed-gender (or race) groups cannot be determined. For each offense, the men's attempted economic gain was higher than the women's: by a factor of ten for bank embezzlement, five for postal fraud, and two for credit fraud and false claims.
There are a lot of gender differences in patterns of crime, from which gender commit more crime to which crimes each gender commits more of. In this essay I will be giving explanations on why this different patterns in crime for gender happen. Men have a higher crime rate than women but the gap in this crime rate is slowly closing in recent years. Some Sociobiologists have the explanation that it is biological for the reason women are less likely to commit crimes than men. They argue that women have a more natural desire to be caring and this does not correspond to the values of crime, so they are less likely to offend due to them not having the nature to commit the crime.
For example bruce estimates that there are twice as many women as men involved in sects. Similarly, Heelas and woodhead found that 80 % of the participants in the holistic milieu in Kendal were female. These differences may also be connected to differences in the way men and women see god – as the god power and control, or as the god of love and forgiveness. According to Miller and Hoffman, women are more religious because they are socialised to be more passive, obedient and caring. These are qualities valued by most religions so it follows that women are more likely than men to be attracted to religion.
men and women also show differences in reproductive behaviours. It has been suggested than males are more likely to have one night stands and short term sexual relationships than women as there are fewer costs for males, this suggestion was showed by Hatfield’s
This shows that women’s dietary intakes are much less than men’s. However, it is proven that women are more than likely to visit their doctors for health problems whereas men are proven to rarely visit te doctors. In relation to this, there are more women that won’t visit there local gp fi the person is male. One of the major problems we hold in our society today is that women’s health is advertised more than men’s health, For example, you are more than likely to an advert on the TV for ‘Check your Breasts’ rather than men’s adverts trying to convince men to go to the doctors to be checked for prostate cancer. Available Infrastructure: What is available infrastructure?
Men are paid higher salaries than women. Women cannot walk freely in the streets. These are some of the examples which show that men are still reining the world. The case of male dominance is worst in the third world countries where people are poor and illiterate. I also have experienced many incidents in which I have been neglected just because I am a girl.
Edgell says that women do most decision making frequently on a probably daily basis, but their decisions go unnoticed whereas men make fewer decisions more infrequently but they seem to be the more important decisions such as moving house or buying a car or other serious financial decisions. A radical feminist would say that Edgells study just outlines the fact that we are living in a patriarchal society and that men are viewed more highly and have more power and control in the relationship, and that women are just used for everyday menial tasks. In conclusion, there is much to y for both sides of the argument but it is difficult to decide either way. It appears that there is some equality but we have a long way to go before actual
