Boys will be boys. What about girls?

Campaigning has started for the general elections to be held in Britain on 7 May. For the first time leaders of 7 different parties took part in a televised debate. In India most English newspapers are staunch supporters of the socialist Congress while in Britain newspapers are divided, with The Guardian and The Mirror on the left, supporting Labour, and The Sun and The Daily Mail on the right, supporting the Conservatives. Comments by every leader is scrutinised by the press and mercilessly mocked depending on who they support. The Labour leader apparently wants the next James Bond to be a woman which has drawn instant ridicule in the Mail. M has become F, which stands for female, Moneypenny is a man named Rodney and Bond is Jane Bond who drinks tea with soya milk, shaken not stirred. She avoids milk because cows are a waste of farming resources and bovine flatulence adds to global warming. So, would a Jane Bond be so diametrically different to her male counterpart? Studies show that there is no difference between boys and girls while in school. Why then do men and women behave so differently when they become adults? Men can only handle one thing at a time perhaps because our brains are wired differently to those of women. We have a different sense of humor. Women respond to romance in the same way that men respond to pornography. This is of enormous importance to the advertising industry because ads which appeal to women maybe too mushy for men. Some people believe that genes influence our behavior while others believe that it is how we are brought up that makes us what we are. The nature vs nurture debate. Feminists believe that women are forced to behave in a certain manner because society is patriarchal which gives men power over women. Most men love sports, read newspapers starting from the last page and hate shopping. Is that because we have been influenced by our fathers or because we are genetically wired to do so? When feminists argue that women should behave the same way as men, are they increasing their freedom or are they oppressing women by imposing their views on women, that they accuse men of doing? College students in the west are resorting to sex work to pay off their debts. Men are blamed for utilising women as objects for their own pleasures but a woman in Australia has defended her right to be a sex worker. She has described herself as," College student.Aspiring lawyer. Daughter, sister, sex worker. I don't need rescuing." Perhaps Cleopatra had the right idea when she bathed in donkey milk and applied crocodile dung on her face to ensnare Julius Caesar. Why go to battle when you can get men to do the dirty work.
