As someone who has an old fashioned romantic view (in the broadest sense of the word), it seemed a good idea to comment on this thread.
As most sensible people are aware, and those who have engaged in self development, male and female energies are very different.
It is not by accident that they are called the 'opposite' sex - The two opposite energies reflect our duality.
It is amazing that it is so easy to brainwash people to believe anything, even if it is illogical.

Also, as those who have done self development are very aware, the physical body is a reflection of the soul, and not an entity on its own.
In other words, the very soul and essential makeup of the genders is opposite, and perfectly reflects in every detail of their respective bodies

For those who hold such strong attachments it is easy to make sweeping statements of fact - It's such a vague and overiding claim - as if science could possibly prove their ideologies beyond doubt!
