Males are much more persistent. Males are also more competitive. This, of course, is overall. If you are making statements about the traits of either gender "overall", you are wrong. There are persistent women and non-persistent men. There are competitive women and laissez-faire men (laissez-faire means, roughly, don't-interfere, live-and-let-be philosophy, in case you didn't know). Men do not have a natural bent towards competitiveness and persistentness. (is "persistentness" a real word?) However, what they do have is a cultural climate that encourages them to be such, which can cause confusion, naturally. I'm not saying that that is omg teh patriarchy evilz (although some things really kinda are, to a degree). It's just not inherent/biological, it's a cultural factor, and one that doesn't actually apply to all men. Just like the female model standards placed by popular television and movies and by advertising are not met by all women - nor are the excessively bad*ss standards of some very radical "feminists" who really don't deserve that name due to the limits they place. Not everybody is Elle Woods, and not everybody is a female version of Batman either.

Did I just turn this into a feminist debate?

Sugarjets!

Sorry!

Anywho, 164.
