Okay, I'll debate with you. I've got one of each. Which stand are you taking?

Edit your question to tell us:  boy or girl?

I think there may be slightly more females in YA than males, about the same as in the world itself.  It depends on the category - seems to be more males in some categories, more females in others.

I don't think there's any scientific proof that familial bonds are stronger based upon gender or relationship.  My best guess is that it depends upon the individuals and their shared upbringing.

For a long time it was the other way.  Boys were thought to be smarter.  Better at math and science, etc.  So now a swing has happened to try to catch the girls up.  And like most politically based swings, they overswung.  It will balance out.   Overviews of education never present a completely accurate picture.

No. The differences between men and women far exceed just the physical. Women have many more neurosynapses in their brains, which makes them more sensitive and better listeners. ( Did that sound smart enough to be believable?) Oh well. There is a documented case about a boy who, after receiving a botched circumcision, was raised as a girl. He committed suicide in 2004, not sure if it was directly related to the study. Here is a link for more info. \nhttp://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/may/04051010.html\nI saw a show about male twins, the same thing happened to one of them, so he was raised as a she, at first it was o.k. but as the poor thing grew older, he began exhibiting gender confusion. Can't find the link on that one.

men are brainier than women. just like in school, especially in surprise quizzes. boys usually have a higher percentage of passing than girls. but almost every men do women can do also. but there is something than the woman can only do and not men.

Ability to rule has nothing to do with gender.  The problem is that the ability to win has a lot to do with gender.

Well, when it comes to my choice of gender for a wife and sex partner, I'd say women are definitely better than men!

It is better to be whatever sex you are actually. Both sexes have their strengths and weakenesses which balance each other.

Although some people claim that there is a neurological difference between males and females that accounts for differing abilities in math and science, this article from Yale University refutes it:\nhttp://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=28105\nBasically, it explains the apparent difference in terms of society and society's expectations of women. \n\nWhen I majored in math in college, half our class was made up of women.

Nothing, really.  The only difference between a male and a female is that males have more testosterone, which can go to their head real fast.

Men and women are not equal but neither is superior. I know that sounds almost contradictory and I suppose it might be if you narrow it down to specific areas such as physical strength. But overall I think it is a valid statement. It is like the ancient Chinese idea of Yin and Yang, 2 halves of a whole. To say one gender is superior to another is really comparing apples and oranges.

Great question.  The fact is that girl do far better in single-gender classes and boys do better in mixed gender ones.  Here's where it gets weird - blacks do better in mixed race classes but whites do better in single-race ones.\n\nSo, is there any way to have equality of education that is actualy the same as equality of opportunity?  It would seem not.  In order for boys to get a better education, girls have to get a worse one.  One of these groups is going to lose.\n\nPutting it in the parents' hands (letting them choose mixed or single sex classes) doesn't really help because any appropriately informed parents will choose the one that gives their children the best education and we're back where we started.\n\nAt the very least, mixed gender classes expose our children to more realistic social experiences.  Does that offset the fact that our girls will not learn math as well?  Beats hell out of me.

Hey washing machine guy,\nYou say that everything on this earth is recycling. So... if I throw my plastic bottle in the  recycling bin today then your kid (lets hope it's a boy) may be born with a higher level of the female hormone eostrogen, and inturn be a Pat female more so than a Pat male???\nCool.

Yes, absolutely. Men and women are different and together we amount to greater than the sum of its parts. When women try to do the things that men are better at and men try to do the things that women are better at, all of society opperates LESS efficiently, and everyone suffers, especially children. And since we all know that children are the future, society slowly decays as a result.

I have the chart with me which was published in a magazine way back in 1980s. These days i haven't come across it. y don't u try the net???? As per the chart, i have noticed that as the girl's age reaches 30 plus the chances of having a girl is more. But im sceptical abt this cos the sex of the child isn't determined by the mother but by the father.
