The differences between Men and Women



Frank posts below on the differences between sexes and why the Almighty ("She"!) created it and it is good.  And using "She" is right if only to make up for the thousands of years of "He's".  Because  the Almighty made us in God's Image, Male AND Female God made them, not Male OR Female.  (See Genesis).  And that means each of us are somewhere on a gender spectrum.  Paul said in Heaven there is no male nor female and Jesus said in Heaven there is no marriage because you are like the angels.

(The citations are left as an exercise for the reader.  After all, as both Sam Johnson and Elmore Leonard said, there is no reason to write, except for money.  So I'll write anyway but not as much as I might.)

So the difference between the sexes is only earth bound, according to the Christian God, which is a matter for the earth bound science and arts.

And according to the earth bound sciences and arts, there are real differences: to the sciences it's everything from external genitalia to brain neuroanatomy; to the arts, it's everything from portraying different emotions to having different cognitive skills, although some liberal arts are mixed, with some claiming a difference and others claiming there is no difference with regard to "gender" at least, which is a word for the actual identity a person is -- the understanding by them of who they are on the male-female spectrum identified by God -- since we are all and each of us made somehow as God's Image, Male And Female.

This is kind of a warmup writeup on my own perception of the differences, because in my life I've gone from a very male appearing person to who I am now, and the differences I have seen from walking as close as someone can come to being both, Male And Female, in one lifetime.  In the meantime, it is interesting to me to consider the fact that I am closest to an angel according to God as one can be here on Earth.  And it is kind of really funny too.
