This text is for questions 7 until 11.

The view that women are better parents than men has shown itself to be true throughout
history. This is not to say that men are not of importance in child-rearing ; indeed, the are
most necessary if children are to appreciate fully the roles of both sexes. But women have
proven themselves superior parents as a result of their conditioning, their less aggressive
nature and their generally better communication skills.

From the time they are little girks, females learn about nurturing. Fisrt with dolls and
later perhaps with younger brothes and sisters, girl are given the role of carer. Girls see
their mothers in the same roles and so it is natural that identify this as a female activity.
Boys, in contrast, learn competitive roles far removed from what it means to nuture. While
boys may dream of adventures, girl’s conditioning means they tend to see the future in
terms of raising families.
Girls also appear to be less aggressive that boys. In adulthood, it is men, not women, who
prove to be the aggressors in crime and in war. Obviously, in raising children, a more
patient, gentle manner is preferable to a more aggressive one. Although there certainly
wxist gentle men and aggressive women, by and large, female are less likely to resort to
violence in attempting to solve problems.

Finally, women tned to be better communicators than men. This is shown in intelligence
test, where females, on average, do better in verbal communication than males. Of course,
communication is of utmost importance inrearing children, as children tend to learn from
and adopt the communication styles of their parents.
Thus, while it is all very well to suggest a greater role for men in raising children, letus not
forget that women are generally better suited to the parenting role.
