The gender gap in physical aggression appears in everyday life at various ages and in various cultures, especially those with gender inequality
- Social power:  In most societies men are socially dominant; they are perceived as more dominant, forceful, and independent, while women as more deferential, nurturant, and affiliative.  When people interact, men are more likely to utter opinions, women to express support.
- Social connectedness:  Females tend to differ from males both in being less concerned with viewing themselves as separate individuals and in being more concerned with “making connections.” We can see this in young children, female play is more intimate and less competitive.
Females are more interdependent than males; it is easier to feel connected to a female than a male. Men value freedom and self-reliance. ]]> 2018-02-13 22:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_mcmasters/elazkdhc3g3a/wish/231323503 The 3 central ideas to take away: emma_mcmasters https://padlet.com/emma_mcmasters/elazkdhc3g3a/wish/231324840 1. Although it may not appear like it, human males and females are more alike than different, thanks to their similar genetic makeup. There biggest differences are in social aspects.
2.  Gender refers to the characteristics, whether biologically or socially influenced, by which people define male and female. Biological and social details shape gender. 
3.  Gender roles, vary with culture, across place and time.

- Different patterns for males and females develop under the influence of the male's greater testosterone and the female's ovarian hormones.
- Parts of the frontal lobes are thicker in woman. Part of the parental cortex is thicker in men.
- In combination with the environment, sex-related genes and physiology result in behavioral and cognitive differences between makes and females. ]]> 2018-02-15 06:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_mcmasters/elazkdhc3g3a/wish/231794288 Y Chromosome alondrabravo1994 https://padlet.com/emma_mcmasters/elazkdhc3g3a/wish/231796734 Definition: The sex chromosome found only in males.
