Women vs Men

[Angel]

Hey why does everyone think I was feeling bad, huh? :-p Question... what exactly does it mean to feel femine? It's kind of hard to grasp for me because I've been female for all my life and not having the other experience I can't really know what femininity feels like. I only know what it feels like to be me.

For me, it's doing my hair, dressing nicely, being attentive to my partner, like giving him a massage or making dinner. Painting my nails, or putting on make up. (Although the only make up I wear is for my eyes... I don't like liquid makeup or powder.)

From a man's perspective feminism might be different. We usually connect outward appearance with feminism when we should connect the caring organizational/multitasking abilities women are blessed with as per Proverbs 31.

Unfortunately I'm not blessed with organisational and multitasking abilities. So I'm not very feminine?

Had i been born a few years later my life would be very different...
I was not allowed to take architectural drawing in high school nor auto shop. era 1964 being told it was because i am female...
Partly my fault for not fighting it.. but then again girls did not do so...
Jump ahead to mid 70s the city college would not allow me to take small motor repair for the same reasons..... I was literally told we can't stop you but you wont do well .... it was not a passion so i did not fight...

Many things for women today are better although it is at a cost... Some of those old things are just dumb....like playing soft ball instead of baseball...

I read somewhere that studies have shown that multitasking women are a myth. Women can't multitask any better than men can.

Maybe, but they'll only be able to attack me in one way at once (each), since they're not really multitasking.

some people can multitask better than others...

The one about colours is making women look ridiculous.
Also, no real woman I ever met would care to name 4 different shades of purple. And for whaat reason would you, unless you are overly interested in fashion or beauty stuff. And portraying women as being overly interested in fashion and beauty is making them look ridiculous.

Also, if you really think those images are sexist you shouldn't post them, but stand up against that kind of sexism.

"Also, no real woman I ever met would care to name 4 different shades of purple. And for whaat reason would you, unless you are overly interested in fashion or beauty stuff."

Because man or woman they are a painter of pictures or interior decorator or a writer, to just name a few. Because it produces a vision in the minds eye.
If I were to describe my bedroom and the stuffed chair in that room, I would not just say purple. It would give the wrong visual.

I think some men who come off as effeminate who work in men's clothing departments have really good taste in clothes.I was once at a major department store.I was looking for shirts and ties to give my husband for his birthday.I just told him about what I wanted and he came up with some great things that matched perfectly.

Yeah there are several studies about gender differences in multi tasking and their results are totally inconsistent. Some even find men doing better at it. Typical example of a myth that has been rebutted by science but still won't go away. *sigh*

As far as multi tasking goes it all just depends on what life experiences and training one has had. I don't think woman are just naturally better at it.

Yes we have laws that say women will be paid the same as a man for the same position and performance but I can say that I know from my own experience as a payroll accountant for a division of a corporation that the law is not always followed.

I had to muti-task in my job.It took a while to catch on then I did it just fine.Some people women and men have said they just could not do it.It depends on the person.

No sorry :biggrin

I need to see some sources from what I've seen women are generally better at multitasking.

I'm sticking with the myth/ experience until I see some data. Do you have a scientific study I can look at ? Me man need evidence. :biggrin

 

[eddif]

While the term multi-tasking may not be a biblical term:
You can not serve God and mammon
We have left all to follow you (disciples)
Seek first the kingdom
Singleness of mind

OT may speak differently than NT. Shadows are not the realities.

I am for acknowledging the broken down wall between Jew and Gentile, and the extension of that concept regarding male female. Of course in Christ is the area that this conversation works.

Since the 1990s, experimental psychologists have conducted experiments on the nature and limits of human multitasking. These experiments suggest that multitasking is not as efficient as work performed on a single task. In general, the subjects in these experiments exhibited severe interference when asked to perform even very simple tasks at the same time—if both tasks required selecting and executing an action (e.g., (Gladstones, Regan & Lee 1989) (Pashler 1994)). Many researchers believe that such action plans experience a type of bottleneck at some level, and that the human brain can only respond to one action request at a time.[4] Psychiatrist Edward M. Hallowell[5] has gone so far as to describe multitasking as a “mythical activity in which people believe they can perform two or more tasks simultaneously as effectively as one.” On the other hand, humans do have the ability to breathe and walk at the same time, an example of multitasking.

Others have researched multitasking in specific domains, such as learning. Mayer and Moreno[6] studied the phenomenon of cognitive load in multimedia learning and concluded that it is difficult, and possibly impossible, to learn new information while engaging in multitasking. Junco and Cotten examined how multitasking affects academic success and found that students who engaged in high levels of multitasking reported significant issues with their academic work.[7] A more recent study on the effects of multitasking on academic performance found that using Facebook and text messaging while studying were negatively related to student grades, while online searching and emailing were not.[8]

Here's some rebuttal. Maybe the definition of multitasking is in order :D

"Studies show that men tend to think they're better at multitasking than they are in reality, and women tend to think they're worse than they really are."

"A group of women and men were given eight minutes to complete a series of tasks - locating restaurants on a map, doing simple maths problems, answering a phone call, and deciding how they would search for a lost key in a field.

Completing all these assignments in eight minutes was impossible - so it forced men and women to prioritise, organise their time, and keep calm under pressure.

In the key search task in particular, women displayed a clear performance advantage over men, says co-author Prof Keith Laws, of the University of Hertfordshire.

"You can see from the drawings - women used methodical search patterns, like going round the field in concentric rectangles. That's a highly productive strategy for finding a lost object.

"Whereas some men didn't even search the whole field in any particular manner, which is just bizarre."

Scientists scanned the brains of 949 young men and women in the biggest investigation of its kind to date. Using hi-tech diffusion MRI imaging, they mapped the connections between the different parts of the brains.

The researchers discovered that women have far better connections between the left and right sides of the brain, while men display more intense activity within the brain’s individual parts, especially in the cerebellum, which controls motor skills.

Women are better multitaskers than men, according to a scientific report which verifies centuries' worth of everyday observations.

Dr Gijsbert Stoet, who led the study, said: "This one significant advantage for women on the key search task suggests that they may be superior at tasks requiring high-level cognitive control, particularly planning, monitoring and inhibition."

My ex-wife was a multi-tasker extraordinaire. I see no clear cut difference of women or men being better at it. My wife was better than me at it, but a couple of my friends off the top of my head can shame their wives into looking bad bad how good they can multi-task. It's just what you're used to I suppose. Though my wife was a better multi tasker, I was clearly more intelligent and specialized. So who wins? No one. She was a fantastic help meet, and what she could not do, I did so it was a good pairing.

Don't all mothers have to be good multi-taskers? One would think so.
