Gender Benders
The discussion about the differences between men and women has always been a tender subject. In addition to the obvious differences between the two sexes, such as anatomy and appearance, men and women are also on two different emotional and mental wavelengths. Men have always been considered the "hunter" or providers for their families, while the woman were the keepers of their homes. Although that may have been true back in the time of Native Americans and Pilgrims, today's woman is far different. As Bob Levey writes in "Men vs. Women Over Walking at Night", "Do women feel more vulnerable than men, especially in situations where they're alone at night?"(236). Many women responded with an answer of "yes" to this question. Levey reveals that men do not know what women think about in possibly dangerous situations. For instance, if a man were to get stranded on a dark, lonesome road at night, he would calmly walk until he found a home to receive help or dial 411 for a wrecker service to pick him up.

Should women be required to register for the draft as men currently do at the age of eighteen? I personally think they should have to. Most guys would suggest the woman to call 911 or to walk to the next gas station. The average clothing size for a woman in the U.
