Differences between Males and Females
    Over a long period of time, the globe has had struggles about the issues of gender. The males and females have constantly stood in the way of one another as far as progress is concerned. However, history presented an undue advantage to the males than the females. This phenomenon has created, in the words of many scholars, stereotyped differences between these two genders. Despite this phenomenon, there are genetic, physiological, physical, psychological, and other forms of human existence that contribute to the differences. As such, it is imperative to establish these differences and uncannily analyze them for a deeper comprehension. Per se, males tend to continuously embrace technology and its advances at large as compared to the females. Additionally, the majority of the females are mentally weaker than males and also, males strongly and intelligently deal with anger and its effects than the females (Ehrenheich 140).
    In the article, A GPS Helps a Guy Always Know Where His Couch Is, Dave Barry reiterates that his wife has no appetite for new computers with advanced features as she finds comfort in her older than old device. She anchors this issue on a simple excuse that the older one works better without even having utilized an advanced computer. Dave further says that “As a guy, I feel I need a new computer every time a new model comes out which is every 15 minutes” (Barry 144). He means that men always want to be updated on technological issues. Upon this development, there is need to entirely establish a comparative study from elsewhere in a bid to substantiate this marked difference. To begin with, most of the technology-based innovators are known to be males. For instance, Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft; Apple was a brainchild of Steve Jobs, Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg among others. Research was carried out at the University of Michigan, Dearborn about computer skills and knowledge among males and females. The findings indicated that female students had less skills in computer as compared to the males. Therefore, the finding was above board and tenable. Moreover, Dave explains that his wife would prefer to ask for directions as opposed to using a GPS. He says that “My wife argues that it is easier just to ask somebody…” (Barry 26).
    When it is said that females are mentally weaker than males, then there must be sufficient substantiation. Anna Quindlen talks about a Princeton study that described women as being unsatisfied with their jobs. Moreover, she mentions the priorities that women have as opposed to their social dignity and knowledge based on a Duke study (Quindlen 23). The female students would prefer fame to humanity. She recalls the words of a girl who was good in poetry but never utilized her abilities because “The important thing for a girl is to be popular” (Quindlen). This finding reflects a weaker brain that seeks nourishment from the minor of the activities. Additionally, women are disturbed by their hormonal structure with estrogen and progesterone hormones derailing their emotions.
    When dealing with anger, men do it head-on and pronounce their frustrations. This move helps calm the situation because when the problem is off the chest, someone relaxes. On the other hand, women do not express the anger colorfully and clearly as Barbara Ehrenreich says. She also says that “After more than a decade of consciousness-raising assertiveness training and hand-to-hand combat in the battle of the sexes we’re too ladylike” (Ehrenheich 158). This depicts how weak ladies are because even Barbara wants them to act like men do. Again, this phenomenon is married to their physiological constitution and eventually, many of them end up crying and frustrated (Ehrenheich 160). Moreover, they can mourn for as long as it takes. This is no new finding because most of the mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, nieces among others exhibit this problem. 
    In conclusion, men are more strongly regarded than females in various ways. First, they easily embrace technology, strongly handle anger and pressure and finally, they are intellectually stronger than the females. These differences are carried by the physical, physiological biological and other natural factors that females possess that work to their disadvantage. Therefore, males predominantly have an advantage over females as history and current activities suggest.
