All humans are not equal. They are not supposed to be equal regardless of what proclamation of equality might say. Each of us is different beyond that apparent similarity in shape we possess. And difference lies deep within and has been made subtle over generations.
“I searched for it fervently and my look-out was exhaustive. After a few
minutes, I was vanquished and I declared May Day. She came scuttling, scoured
through the pillows, mystically conjured the keys that remained imperceptible
to me out of puff, placed it on my hands rather forcefully, but only after
rendering the look.”
So what do we learn from all this? Girls always produce a
look after doing a favour, Yeah, true but apart from that. Well, it must be slightly
appalling that what had been an arduous yet futile conquest for me was a matter
of seconds for her. So, what to infer? Do I have some sort of biological
imparity that impedes my searching ability such poor eyesight? Or is there some
indiscernible difference in the way she and I search for things? Is this a part
of some grave fair sex conspiracy? Maybe she had the keys on her all the while
and didn't inform me when I was foraging and eventually produced it from the
same spot I had been looking out to make me feel worthless by that undermining
look? Vicious, isn't it!!
How enticing the last option may appear to you all fellow
men, it is not true (at least not entirely). And before your horses of
imagination run astray, I must aver that it is genetic. Yes! Yes! I know “it’s
genetic” has become a fancy explanation for all. Why are criminals violent?
Can’t do anything, it is genetic. Why are Asian good at maths? It is genetic.
Why do blacks have long d***s? You know…. it’s genetic. Why can’t your partner
find keys? Umm..ah.. wait..wait..It is genetic.
So here I should restate it one again: Women are genetically superior to male (at
finding lost keys). If I had simply stated what is written before the
parenthesis, feminist would have been delighted beyond measure: ”Yeah! We have
always been aware of it.” A different phrase in parenthesis might have appeased
them as well but, now, well, who craves to be genetically superior at finding
keys. All we want is fast brains (and
long _______). But, these do have certain implications which do have significance
(I mean greater significance than key finding ability) in the modern world. These
show we are different, Men and Women, at more subtle levels. But before
discussing that, let me tell you a story: The Story of advent of Key-Finders.
Once upon a time, there lived homo-sapiens. These creatures
were much primitive and the environment they lived in was more challenging. The
homo-sapiens were of two types: X-gals and Y-bros. The world they lived in had two
primary tasks for survival, both equally important: gathering of fruits and
water and hunting of prey. The X-gals and Y-bros decided to partner up and
divide the work where X-gals became the gatherers and Y-bros became hunters. Hunting
involved working in uncertain environment, good sense of direction and special orientation
and a single-minded approach. Gathering required acquaintance with environment,
good memory, better remembrance of landmarks and locations. In addition to
these, due to a previous agreement X-gals also had to look after young ones (who
were very young to be taken in uncertain environments). So, they became
methodical and began to multi-task efficiently dividing their attention among
various works.
Every group wanted to ensure survival. So there was a demand for Y-bros who could hunt well and X-gals who could multi-task. Over a chronological period, natural selection came into play and only those X-gals and Y-bros were selected whose antecedents suited the division of labour. With fleeting generations, learning accrued and traits ameliorated but then the challenges became obsolete. And, now we have proved that, in fact X-gals possess better OLM and Y-bros are better at 3DMR (3-dimensional mental rotations).

What do results of such experiments indicate? Women are
actually good at finding lost objects. Moreover, they are more methodical and
structured in their approach and perform better in certain environments. So,
women excel at jobs that necessitate methodical approach. They can prove to be
a better administrator in peaceful interludes. They are good physicians, COOs,
accountants. They are better at maintaining records. They can perform well as a
CEO of an established enterprise but they deliver poor results in markedly
uncertain situations such as driving, stock trading, and entrepreneurship. Contrastingly, males are guileless Spartans of uncertainty.
However, if your behaviour seems aberrant from the aforementioned,
you needn't bother. Statistically, men are inferior in certain environment does
not mean all men are necessarily inferior in certain environment or vice-versa.
Every generation has fair set of weirdos, your great-great grandfather was one
and look he did get a chick (Cheer up all weirdos!!). Being an anomaly, doesn't
always mean you are disadvantaged. Furthermore, there was one more finding of
these experiments. Male performed exceptionally poor when they were not made
aware of the motive of the experiment in the beginning. But when apprised in
advance, the gap between the two genders significantly abated suggesting that
any genetic advantage has a certain limit beyond which a man (or woman) on
his/her own. We are like urns slightly
filled with memoirs of past passed down to us as inheritance from our
forefathers and remainder of that urn has to be filled by you. Yours genes
decide how you can be, but it is you who decide how you shall be.
