I don’t think so.
Neither does J. Budziszewski:
[Student:] “Well, at first I thought you were only saying that there’s a difference in typical male and female qualities. Then I thought you were saying that there’s a difference in what men and women typically do. Then I thought you were saying that there’s a difference in what they’re designed to do. But now you seem to be saying that there’s a difference in what they are.”
[Professor:] “Right. And we’re not finished.”
“You mean there’s another layer to the onion?”
“Of course. There’s the center.”
Read this very interesting exchange between a professor and his students about male and female complementarity here.

This is a great topic. thanks for bringing this up.
Anyone who has ever been in a relationship will be able to say, yes, it’s true, men and women are VERY different. Granted, this is part of our gift to one another–it can also be, in times of struggle when we have difficulty understanding the ways of the opposite sex, an opportunity to GROW in understanding and love. Men and women are so wonderfully complimentary to eachother and to deny our differences would be to deny the very essence of our being, in my opinion.
