What do you think are the main differences between men and women in everyday modern life
id like evolutionary reasons, and how these reasons affect modern life
i think even in modern day life the majority of people still show stereotypical behaviours of their sex. For instance women are still more likely to being the “domestic manager” in the house and the primary care giver to children. Women are far more likely to go into caring, creative or people orientated roles. However there has been a rise in the feminine creative qualities being used in more traditionally masculine roles for example management, which used to be highly male dominated due to strategic qualities.
Women and men are very different physically both externally and internally and these create very different hormones which account for these differences in behaviour to some extent. The greatest example here is the different sexes approach to sex as the hormones released before, after and during intercourse have very different impacts on how the person views the situation and the partner. Evolutionary wise this could be explained in terms of the mother wanting to connect with the father for him to provide food and protection to herself and the unborn child, whereas the father has spread his seed and wants to ensure a healthy progression of his gene by going elsewhere.
Also these physical differences will always affect modern day life as men will always be built to be stronger than women, and therefore women will always find these features attractive in the opposite sex. Similarily men will always look for a healthy body for childbearing in women and will always love nice boobs, bum and hips! But these physical differences will also mean that men and women will always (in the majority of cases) go towards their natural evolutionary roles even with the rising equality for women in the western world.
Last but not least (and im sorry if Ive waffled) women will always learn behaviour from their mothers and peers and men from their fathers and peers so will act in a way that is socially acceptable and be encouraged to show stereotypical roles that are favoured!
