Now the ‘he’ or ‘she’ is many times considered as ‘us’, as a unity then disregarding of gender differences. One question, however, still remains. Can the idea of unity truly penetrate the heart of everyone? No matter how close we are to close up the gap between the two genders, there is no definite way of telling how male and female will came to an understanding. Perhaps a step to approach unity is to start at the very beginning. Rules of being a boy and a girl divided the commonality from the day babies came into the world, when the babies wer ...
