These differences have existed for a long time and are very common.
2.Essentialist
3.Feminism is a historical term in the primary stage of feminism, and there is no difference between them in essence.
Feminism believes that the current society is based on a male centered patriarchal system.The purpose of feminist theory is to understand the essence of inequality and focus on sexual politics, power relations and sexual consciousness.
Feminism attacks John because feminism believes that the differences between men and women are constructed by society, not essential differences, but specific culture and time.
4.I think what John said is not wrong. We are always advocating equality between men and women, but in fact, there are differences between men and women in real life. The differences between men and women are not formed in a specific time and culture, but have been accompanied by mankind. It is difficult for us to eliminate the differences between men and women, but only to reduce them.]]> 2021-10-27 11:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/7eunfdlkx6es0ab0/wish/1847938517 Serena xitongYan https://padlet.com/usictech/7eunfdlkx6es0ab0/wish/1847938705 1.He believes that men and women can only get along better if they recognize that they have differences.

He contends that men and women are fundamentally different, and that men and women can only better comprehend and deal with one another if they acknowledge this reality.
2.This is an essentialist approach
3.Feminism is the fight to end sexism, sexual exploitation, discrimination and oppression and to promote equality between sexual classes.They believe that men and women's distinctions are socially produced. As a result, they aren't intrinsic differences, but rather cultural and historical ones. They are the result of masculine supremacy, which shapes society's culture and values, influences socialisation patterns, and perpetuates them Inequality between men and women
4.I prefer the feminist proposition that, in reality, sexism is indeed socially constructed, and it is because men think they are different from women, or even feel they are above them, that gender inequality is the result. I don't agree with John's view]]> 2021-10-27 12:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/7eunfdlkx6es0ab0/wish/1847945124 Aya Salama asalama11 https://padlet.com/usictech/7eunfdlkx6es0ab0/wish/1847945250 1. In do so, I have faulted him for what he says. Gray can be faulted equally for what he does not say, so I now turn to a second line of analysis of Gray's work. Gray claims that differences between the sexes are innate and immutable because women and men are different species who come from different planets. meaning that each gender is completely different mentally and physically. 
2. Simply put, essentialist feminism argues that gender is decided at birth because of physical differences, while constructivist feminism argues that gender is socially constructed through conditioning orchestrated by the patriarchy. However, John Gray is using the essentialist approach.
3. At its core, feminism is the belief in full social, economic, and political equality for women. Feminism largely arose in response to Western traditions that restricted the rights of women, but feminist thought has global manifestations and variations. On the other hand, many articles had other opinion about the article as following. The findings of reliable, data-based research contradict some of Gray's key assumptions about women's and men's communication, as demonstrated in this article. Gray also ignores the socially constructed aspect of gender inequalities, as well as the material consequences that result in unequal opportunities and circumstances for men and women. Finally, Gray makes a mistake by encouraging people to abandon personal accountability for their thoughts and behaviors. 
4. I believe that, despite our repeated assertions that men and women are equal, there is a true difference between men and women, and that this difference will be difficult to eradicate.
