But...is that difference innate or culturally created?
Is it a natural and necessary aspect of masculinity that 'manhood' is a solitary experience and a natural and necessary aspect of femininity that womanhood is a shared experience? Or are those the roles we have set out for ourselves (at times and in some places), in which we expect silent strength from men and shared warmth from women and so teach our children and ourselves in such a divided fashion?
