Gender Typing (are there flavors as well?)

David Buss, an evolutionary thinker who defends the scientific, biological ways of Gender Typing. Buss proposes the evolutionary perspective, in that women are beautiful, weaker, and nurturing individuals. On the other hand, men are stronger, intelligent and aggressive. In evolution for example, men would be the provider. Men would simply kill animals to bring home some meat. In other words, men were the hunters and gathers that supplied food to a particular community. In our industrialized society, research has revealed that women particularly like men who can sufficiently provide for them and their family. According to David Buss, women are beautiful. This notion of beauty still strongly applies to modern day society, in that a man will only consider a long-term relationship if and only if the woman is sexually attractive.

Another perspective in the biological category of gender typing is the prenatal brain organization. This particular theory conveys the idea that gender behaviors automatically arise within an individual once birth occurs. One may question this theory by asking why are there hermaphrodites? In fact, prenatal Brain Organization actually disposes that question by underlining that gender comes through the environment. In other words, a hermaphrodite could arise because of the environment around them.

It is almost possible to forget about the extreme, and one may say sexist, Freud. As a matter of fact, Freud comes back to haunt us in the psychological sphere of gender typing. Psychoanalytical is a believe that gender arises as a phyco sexual development. Men, in particular suffer from their mothers erotic impulses. Taking things to a bit of an extreme, the father and child (boy) are in fact competitors for the mothers love. Essentially, the mother acts as a winning trophy, as two men (or one man and one little boy) fight for the heart, and devotion of their mother.

There are many flavors to explore. Unfortunately, I do not have enough time to explore the three remaining physiological aspects of Gender Typing.
Yes, there will be a part 2...
