How Women are Different
The saying, "men are from Mars, women are from Venus", is a simple way of explaining that men and women are completely different in many ways. Is this difference due to biology; the genetic difference that we are born with, or gender; the cultural difference that society influences? Through biology and gender stereotypes the ideal women is formed. A stereotype is "widely held but fixed and oversimplified image of a particular type of person or thing. This person or thing [appears] to conform to such and image." Women are stereotyped by expecting them to act more feminine than man, talk differently than man, and have a different appearance than man. All of these labels impose restrictions and limitation on what kind of person a female Women are expected to react to situations more passively, with more compassion and emotion, and with less physical endurance. For example, women were once thought unable to participate in distance running activities because they would be physically incapable of completing the task, and if they did complete the run, it would permitly damage their reproductive organs. Of course we know this is not true, but these biased assumptions
However, it depends on the other person to respond the same way, otherwise it makes the women looks as if she is the receiver as a favour that did not occur.

The logic of a verbal fight is when you are challenged, you will rise and try to defend yourself and fight back verbally.
