What's the realization? It's basically in a form of question: Why Gender Does Matter to all people?
Until now, there are still thousands of speculations that point out the significant difference of men to women in terms of analytical abilities, logic, mathematical skills, emotions, height, weight, self-esteem, sex and more.
The world seems unfair due to these stereotypes and labeling. These tags we regularly put to each other dissolves the real identity curling inside us. Like what Janet Shibley Hyde, a professor in University W-Madison, said:
"Social psychologists have shown that beliefs often lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. In other words, the more we believe something is true, the more we are likely to act in a way that makes it come true. Men are taught to believe that they aren't good at communicating, that they lack tact, and are not good at interpreting emotions. Women are taught to believe that they aren't cut out for leadership, they're bad at math, and they should stick to certain careers that bring out their "natural" abilities."
For this, why there's still gender differences when men and women can be equal?

Gender differences.. or whatever kind of difference for that matter, is inevitable. I also am a believer of the thing that you pointed out- that most often we are more likely to act out what we have always believed in or have been taught to believe in.
Men and women aside, I think we all are equal. As individuals, we are created uniquely possessing different strengths and weaknesses. Excellence lies in knowing how to work with your strengths and improve the weaknesses.
:) Interesting post.
