Strong sex: males vs females
Does it still make sense to talk about the stronger sex and the weaker sex? Certainly in Italy and in the rest of the world there is still a long way to go towards real equality between the sexes. This is because the culture of our time and the society in which we live are anchored to an old and traditionalist vision that continues to consider women, in work as in life, a step back to men. Yet something is moving!
Instinct and rational mind: two forces often in conflict!
From these differences derive a greater potential for relating to women than men, a greater intuitive and perceptive capacity, but also mood changes related to the sexual sphere. These differences obviously do not indicate that one of the two sexes is superior to the other, even if these natural advantages have ended up locking women within the boundaries of reproduction for centuries. The use of his rational part has led man to increasingly assert his power over the so-called weaker sex. The latter then turned the situation upside down through his conquests, often complicating his relationship with his children, sometimes overturning the emotional shortcomings too much on them, but always favoring his instinctive part, compared to the man who fell into a void difficult to fill. Becoming a mother gives a woman a very strong practical sense, with which she manages to fight almost with heroism often even strong physical and psychological traumas, even managing the emotional relationship with greater wisdom and authority than a man does.
Man, rationally framed, often cannot move at ease in a relationship in which the emotional and physical aspect prevails. He becomes sore, afraid, angry or avoids important relationships, because he fears abandonment.

The strength of women: an added value.
Women live longer than men almost everywhere, they know how to react physically and psychically, even coming out of deep crisis situations with their own strength, they reset and strengthen themselves to start again with a new program like a PC and they are able to solve all problems. : they are saved, because they do not break down. And they manage to take care of more things at the same time. Many authoritative scientific studies therefore argue that women are now the stronger sex: they are more resistant than men even in serious situations such as epidemics, imprisonment, famine. And not just purely biological causes.
Obviously there are advantages in gender difference even with similar lifestyle habits and this is also seen in infants, for whom behavioral or social conditioning does not matter. From a biological point of view, estrogens have inflammatory and protective effects on blood vessels, enhance immunity, unlike testosterone and progesterone, which can lower the immune defenses. Estrogen allows them to accumulate more fat than humans, which can be used in the event of famine. Women manage to give the same attention to a thousand chores or problems of various kinds at the same time. However, their resistance to stress may in the future level out with that of men, as their lifestyle habits become more and more similar to those of men. For now, both their physical resistance and their resilience are very strong and they adapt to environmental, socio-economic changes and to all kinds of situations with ease and, we could even say, with the habit of sacrifice. Compared to the majority of women, men are less prudent, more reckless in driving, in sports, more neglected in prevention, they have less care for their body and nutrition.
Women, who have always been the family's lifeline in small and large difficulties, are responsible for finding solutions and looking for ways to resist and help the other members of the family in emergency situations or difficulties. They take worries or pain away from them through the movement of their hands and for this reason they are never doing nothing. This helps them stay psychologically clear and healthy enough even in serious situations. Women from other eras or other cultures, who seem to us to have a less dominant role, also demonstrate or demonstrate a natural strength of resistance to adversity and to high-level physical and moral pain.
The stereotypes of the past are slow to disappear.
Genes favor women, since they are a newborn they have biological advantages; yet in various social and working contexts women are affected by the stereotype of the weaker sex still attributed to them and which also leads to mortifying economic discrimination. Muscles are needed much less today than in the era of ancient civilizations, where physical strength was essential. In the most common stereotypes in the world, the woman is a fragile girl and the man the knight or the prince, the strong hero who protects her.
Yet as a child she is more precocious in speaking and even at school, she socializes more easily. Men bear pain worse, complain more of ailments, hardly take initiatives to solve problems at home or in the family and do not tolerate changes and abandonments, very often falling into states of asthenia and depression more often than women.
