How different is each gender really? Are girls and boys born with different brains that work differently and therefore learn differently? or are we socialized to believe so?

What are you thoughts on the matter? Are men and women really that different or are we socialized that way? Do you buy into the media telling you so?

life:

In the mid-20th century, America experienced a painful and long-overdue  reckoning for the most inhuman societal injustices in its history — the  stark racial inequalities that gave the lie to the nickname “land of  the free.” And LIFE was there, recording the triumphs, frustrations, and  martyrdoms of the civil rights movement’s heroes — and the gloating  hatred that fueled the era’s villains.
Pictured: During a nonviolent march demanding desegregation in public facilities  in Birmingham, Alabama, the city’s infamously racist public-safety  chief, Bull Connor, ordered firefighters to turn high-pressure firehoses  on the peaceful demonstrators.

Great documentary about how the american media portrays women and how this affects societies view on women, especially women in power positions, and women as sexual objects. Well worth watching with many female and male perspectives on the issue, including, katie Couric, Geena Davis, and Condoleezza Rice, (just to name a few)
