Women react to drugs differently then men. There are some drugs you never want to give to a women, and there are some drugs you never want to give unto man. Somewhere down the line this non gender child will have to have a record showing what sex it is before drugs are administered.
Very good point and I'm going to stay here for a little bit more.
I think the trick that the enemy is trying to use is that different means deficient, and that is not the case.
People have this notion that to admit difference means that something is bad.
For example, even though racially there is not gene for race, we do have different ethnicities because of cultures and human pattern of behaviors.
To acknowledge that someone is of an Asian culture or an African culture is not a bad thing. To acknowledge that someone is older in age is not
a bad thing. To acknowledge that someone is a male or a female is not a bad thing.
Now why do people feel this way. Well the fact is because in the past people have used differences to discriminate. People will say, I'm of this religion and you
are not so I must hate you. Or I'm of this race(even though there is no gene for race) and you are not like me, so I'll treat you different. Or I'm a man and you are
a woman so I'll treat you bad. So because in the past differences have been used as a metric for discriminating, people don't want to acknowledge the
differences and rush towards "we are all the same".
However, that is not true. We are not all the same. The truth is we all have the same value. Jesus died for everyone equally. Jesus loves all of his children
equally. That is the truth, but that does not mean we are the same. People hesitate to acknowledge the difference because they automatically thing based on history
that what immediately will follow is that you will expect them to act a certain way or use that as a basis to unfairly discriminate against them. Which is unfortunate.
So are there certain ways that people should act because of these difference? Shouldn't parents expect a girl with a dress to sit differently than a boy with pants. Wouldn't it be ok for a boy playing football to tackle another boy by grabbing his chest, whereas if he was tackling a girl it would be inappropriate for him to grab her chest(breast) to tackle her?
In terms of treating people directly, because we are different we should be treated differently. Obviously we should be treated fairly and loved equally, but there is
nothing wrong with treating people differently if you understand where I'm going. For example as Curtis wonderfully pointed out in terms of medication. We are biologically
different. This doesn't mean that one body is superior, just that we are different. Women may get pregnancy leave at work because their bodies are different and they
give birth. Does that mean that men need to protest so they have get just as many medical days as women because it is unfair? I don't think so. Women vitamins may have
certain ratios of nutrients compared to men because they are different. Women bathrooms are designed differently because woman go to the bathroom differently than men.
But unless you acknowledge the difference you can't even do that. Vegetarians don't eat meat, so is asking someone if they are vegetarian a bad thing or acknowledging that so
a school can prepare the right ratio of meals for their students a bad thing? Hispanics speak Spanish, is gathering that information so that a school can know how many
Spanish tutors to hire a bad thing? No. But those who don't want to acknowledge any difference because "we are all the same" are not helping people.
We are not all the same, which is what makes the human race wonderful. Women and men are not the same, which is what makes sex(in the confines of Marriage) a beautiful thing.
It is also what makes God's love shine in a romantic relationship.
I'll go even deeper. God designed Woman's bodies to be better suited to be in a supportive nurturing role to their families. Women's body chemistry allows them to carry more fat, this is
helpful during pregnancy when the mother needs to feed the baby from her body nutrients as well. Women are hard wired to be more emotionally in tuned, which is there to balance out
the logically goal driven men. Men are often task oriented and designed that way so that they can be good leaders(in the home). When leading you don't want too much emotions clouding
your judgment. However the wife is there to help Him with her intuition and emotional focus to help point out things he might miss, and also be in tune with the emotional needs of her children. Where are the father is there to teach the values and offer discipline. He is less likely to be manipulated by a sad face when it is time to get a spanking or timeout (I understand men and women don't neatly fit into these categories). As a result of all of this, ideally ( I know many women will call men sexist if they say this) the family works best when the women is in the home because her gifts shine there. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here.
The take away is we are different because God designed us that way, but we are all equal in God's eyes. Our difference make us beautiful and at times also serves a functional purpose in God's design.
Similar to your left and right hand, they are different, but that is the beauty, their differences are made to compliment each other.
