To What Extent Does Gender Affect the Way I See the World?

Depending on whether one is a male or female affects how one perceives the world. As a female, I perceive the world in various ways unlike a male. I see the world as a place that is dominated and mostly run by males. As a female I can relate to other females and empathize with them. As a mother, I have learned to think of others apart from myself because I have two dependents that I have to put before myself. I also see myself as a functioning member of society and having something to contribute to the world. As a woman, I perceive myself as a nurturer and caregiver, and it is through women, humanity is reproduced.
