Boys to Men Is it possible for boys to learn how to express feelings and be more docile? Research suggests that traits of masculinity may be hardwired. This implies that it is by natural instinct that they tend to be more violent and aggressive. Time and again boys have been put to the test only to discover that “boys will be boys”. I was raised with 3 brothers and 3 sisters and share the same thoughts as Christina Hoff Sommers that efforts to change boys will be difficult if not impossible.

The List Story by 10/16/2013 I find myself on the ledge of a building with two of his thugs grabbing me. I think to myself how did I get here? Should I have done what I did? Is this the end?

A man and a woman meet, fall in love, go out for some time and then break up. It happens. A woman can meet a lot of guys and never meet someone, who is really special. One man can be a friend to another man and the same with women, but as for the friendship between men and women? It is the question to be answered. Being children, boys and girls can be friends

In the Samoan culture as well, the women are the ones who serve the food, while the men are out doing yard work. The roles of the gender are taught based on the knowledge of the teacher and what they have been exposed to. For example, Tarzan was a man, who grew up with apes. All of his life he carried himself as an ape because that was the only thing he was exposed to. But, the minute he found out that he was human and surrounded himself with them, he started to act the way humans act. He conformed
