Document Summary

Are there inborn differences b/w males and females? (are we really biologically different and this affects our sexuality?) Human beings believed to be tabla rasa blank slates . Sexual behavior is a function of socialization and culture (all learned) People are androgynous: no difference between them (if bring up boys and girls the same way, differences would disappear) Ridiculous to see humans as tabla rasa, men and women are innately different because they have a different evolutionary history (evolved over thousands and thousands of years) Traits that enhance successful reproduction eventually become predominant in the species (certain traits have a greater or lesser survival value) -- selective advantage . Our behavior is innate (we don"t choose it, it"s in our genes) Androgyny is a myth (can"t take a male and socialize him to become a female and vice-versa) Sociologists: men socialized to appreciate sex and given opportunities to be sexual.
