Gender and Family Life

In class this week we went over gender roles and the different tendencies between males and females.

Female Tendencies:

  • Emotional, express emotion
  • Verbalize
  • Observant, notice little details 
  • Relationship oriented
Male Tendencies:
  • Upper-body strength
  • Spatial Orientation
  • Protective instincts
  • Can be aggressive
  • Physical 
These are the tendencies we collected as a class and discussed. We noticed how they are different and that men and women need one other to fill in the gaps they don't have individually. Together as parents, men and women have important roles that the other one doesn't possess. 
In class we also discussed how confusing and misleading mothers can be when they try to be a father figure and vice-versa with fathers trying to be a mother figure. Brother Williams gave an example about a woman who was married to a man who was in the army and then divorced him for another woman. I know that homosexuality can lead to many negative consequences. Children need to be raise when a male father figure and a female mother figure. 
The only valid culture and way of living is what Heavenly Father expects.
