And Then Some News

This Thursday’s And Then Some essay, “Gender differences need to be acknowledged, accepted, and exploited,” stems from my longstanding interest in the topic. The explanation of gender differences has been part of all my teaching and writing ever since the research has been made public. This essay draws from the excellent book, Why Gender Matters: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know About the Emerging Science of Sex Differences (Broadway Books, 2005) by Leonard Sax, M.D., PhD. Sax challenges many of the basic assumptions regarding gender differences by interspersing hard data and numerous case studies.

Gender Differences Need to be Acknowledged, Accepted, and Exploited
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
Because gender runs near to the core of human identity and social meaning, the neglect of gender differences hinders our children in the guidance they receive about what it means to be an adult woman or man. Sax goes so far as to say that future generations will look back on this one and claim that “a fundamental cause for the unraveling of our social fabric was the neglect of gender in the raising of our children (p. 251).”
