Something seems wrong with the Bubbl Tool, so I'll paste everythign here.

Main Issue: Men and women are different when it comes to societal roles.

Strategy: look at nature, nurture, and perhaps some similarity that suggests that men and women are not entirely different.

C1: By nature, men and women are wired to be different.

P1: From birth, men and women have differing biological make-up that determines different biological abilities

P2: The natural process puberty results in different physique of men compared to women.

Fact: the high testosterone level in men cause them to have larger skeletal growth and more skeletal muscle than women (ie men end up much larger in size than women)

P3: Such biological difference may limit certain aspects of societal jobscopedisregarding sports, women may usually not be found doing jobs that require a lot of physical force (eg construction work)

C2: Men and women are nurtured to be different.

P1: Society places different expectations on the roles of gender for men and women

P2: Accepted, age-old cuntiral constructs (eg, fairy tales such as Snow White) downplay the dominance/importance of women in society.

P3: These ideas usually indoctrinate in the early years of boys and girls, and being impressionable, they succumb to such ideas and accept them as part and parcel of life ([])

P4: Society promotes these ideas through education and often through parental expectation

P5: As a result of pressure from education and parental expectations, children end up behaving as they are expected to

Example: while research prove that girls can boys fare similarly in math, parents' low expectations of the girl's ability (idea of growing up to ba a stay-at-home-wife) can hamper the discovery of her talent in mathematics

C3: Men and women are not completely different as both do have similarities

P1: Despite cited differences, men and women are still similar in society (argument against motion)

P2: Most differences between men and women are a product of societal norms, but that does not fundamentally make men and women different at heart

P3: Research across different studies showed that gender differences had little impact on psychological variables examined. In short, gender differences does not change the similarity in psyche of men and women Example: in an experiment, where men and women were told that they would not be identified by gender, they acted unlike and even contrary toward societal stereotypes. (women became aggressive, men became passive)
