How do books affect your life?

_Arale_

I don't think so. I can name as many females writers as male writers that I know. Amy Tan, Maya Angelou, Gwendolyn Brooks, Nikki Giovanni, and Helen Keller, for examples. You just have to keep up with their work. That's all

the level and skills of writing have nothing to do with auther's sex.

yeah, just few women are authors, that is just because women are mostly involved into some housework, feeding kids, and so on. in the past, many women had not as many chances to receive education as men did.

there are many complicated backgrounds behind this phenomenon. it isn't a matter of gender.

Arale I would never have expected such a question from you! :)

I agree with Dixie, its a silly question. Are female singers better than male? Are female actors better than male??

All about personal preferences.

Well, please read my first post. I did say I DON'T THINK SO. I bet you haven't read it, except the TITLE.
Anyway, this TITLE was quoted from a research by scientists, I am just the one who repeat the question and give out my own opinion.

Oh yes, don't be so sure about that. It depends on who and who you're comparing with. And we can do it for generalization, too. Make a list of all the famous male singers in one column and the female singers in another to see which column has more famous people and voila, our answer for which gender is better at acting or singing .

OK here is my list of (my favourite) singers, male and female..

Male: Female:

Bono Kate Bush
Frank Sinatra Bjork
Van Morrison Mary Black (Irish)
Michael Stipe (REM) Norah Jones

It could be a long list...but for me these are the important ones...my favourites from that list.??? Hard to say..love them all...

This is what I could remember from that research.

The ability of writing between male and female are different. Man could write a more logical passage, which women are restricted by their sensity. Man have a good health and it's very important to help them write in a long time. In fact, there are many works by male authors, which have a trong affect on our time, while those of female authors are extremely few...

Thanks so much, brightsmiles. OK, I will completely change my topic because that research seems to raise sex discrimination. Personally, I don't like it.

Why are people so sensitive when it comes to comparing one gender to another? I don't see anything is wrong with that. Since women and men are now equal; therefore, they both should be acknowledged for their abilities, not their gender. I, personally, would be desvatated if I was better than my male coworkers and the boss didn't want to compare to see that I was better than them because it was "too sensitive and racist" to compare the female and male employees. And even if I was not better than them, I'd still stand strong to let them compare my ability with other male coworkers. I mean, I want to be equal to males, but I don't want to lose my voice as a female. Treat me equal, but don't see me as a male. I find it really sexist.

Hello!!!! How do books affect my life? Hummm, I guess very much! Reading I can go to different places and thank God I have a strong imagination. Nobory can deny that real experieces are much better, though.
