Gender tendencies and homosexual misinterpretations

What kinds of gender tendencies do we see in males and females?

Males might include:

Aggressive behavior

Spatial orientation

Competitive

Task oriented

Females might include:

Passive

Cooperative

Detail oriented

Landmark oriented

Nurturing

We recognize each of these behaviors as ones that are generally associated with that gender. From this we can acknowledge that men and women are each blessed with different strengths. The purpose of us having different strengths from one another is so that we can come together, male and female, and be complete.

There are a few things to consider in terms of gender tendencies….. Did those tendencies come as a result of birth or a result of nurture? Studies show over and over again that many of these tendencies are a result from nature. Girls are more naturally inclined to behave more gentle and nurturing while boys are more naturally inclined to be more aggressive and competitive. Because we not only believe in these naturally tendencies but we have seen them proven to be so whether raising our own children or interacting with young children these tendencies do in fact exist. However, there are always children who seem to be, as we would say “different” because do not follow these typical gender tendencies and instead possess many characteristics for the opposite gender. A little girl who likes cars and trucks and rolls around in the dirt is a cute, energetic tom boy but a little boy who plays with dolls, enjoys dressing up and wearing necklaces, and having tea parties is considered wrong and “different”. Why is it okay that girls can take on male typical roles and be fine while boys who take on female typical roles are not accepted at all? Is it really wrong that boys act gentle and like playing with girl intended toys? NO! Of course not! Possessing sensitive and nurturing qualities should never be something to be ashamed of. Do parents really believe that by embracing these characteristics their boys will turn out to be gay? We should never discourage gentleness, kindness, and playing. Every child is different and just because some boys prefer dolls to trucks is no reason to go reading into what that may mean. Some parents have gone over the top to believe that a doll at age 3 accounts to changing the gender orientation of their child. WHAT THE HECK?! Let the boys play with the dolls and the girls play with the trucks but why would we ever want to change the gender identity of a child. We need to stop trying to stop trying to justify behaviors and changing people we need to EMBRACE the gifts and identity that we have been given. Born a boy? Be proud to be a boy. Born a girl? Be proud to be a girl! Am I wrong?!
