Women's Effect Over Men...
In this day of women's liberation and the strive for gender equality, it still seems to me that the two genders still aren't exactly equal. I believe it is not entirely because of our lack of social evolution but merely our human nature to behave in this way.
The greatest difference herein lies in women's effect over man. In my weekly badminton session, we are an all male group with the typical male camaraderie issuing insults and jibes especially when someone makes a silly mistake or loses a game without putting up a fight.
However, a young woman has recently joined the badminton group and her effect on the rest of the badminton team is quite noticeable. Much of the crude insults and teases have ceased especially from the younger men. In fact, when playing against her, I also observed a slight increase in mistakes caused by the men possibly due to lack of concentration. =)
I wonder whether this effect is merely temporary lasting until the rest of the guys get used to her presence or will it last a lot longer. Looks like only time will tell...
