“By the time young people reach adolescence they have had years of educational experiences influenced both by biological factors and by the ways society socialized boys and girls.” – Would Girls and Boys Tend to Answer Differently? Galley
I totally agree with this. Identity is often given by social experience and self-identity is also influenced by this factor. Adults like to dress up a baby boy in blue and dress up a baby girl in pink. While they are growing up, they receive the message that blue is a boy color and pink is a girl color. But does color really have a gender? No. It is just a social habit and everyone receives it and accepts it. It is the same token in educational setting. Because of the difference of biological development in the early age of boys and girls, people developed the social impressions such as girls are better at language learning than boys are and boys tend to behave aggressively. But we don’t have any research result showing that adult women have advanced ability in language while men do not or there are any aggressive factors in men’s body and affect their actions. Therefore, it is not fair to judge people by gender.
