Designed with Distinct Differences:
In Strength

16. Physical Differences
1. Men and women differ in every cell of their
bodies. This difference in the chromosome
combination is the basic cause of development
into maleness or femaleness as the case may be.
2. A woman has greater constitutional vitality,
perhaps because of this chromosome
difference. Normally, she outlives man by
three or four years, in the U.S.
3. A woman’s basal metabolism is normally lower
than that of man.

17. Physical Differences
4. They differ in skeletal structure, woman having
a shorter head, broader face, chin less
protruding shorter legs, and longer trunk. The
first finger of a woman's hand is usually longer
than the third; with men the reverse is true.
Boys' teeth last longer than do those of girls.
5. A female has a larger stomach, kidneys, liver,
and appendix, smaller lungs.

18. Physical Differences
6. A woman has unique functions, totally lacking in
men: menstruation, pregnancy, lactation. All of
these influence behavior and feelings. She has
more and different hormones than a man. The
same gland behaves differently in the two sexes -
thus woman's thyroid is larger and more active-
it enlarges during pregnancy but also during
menstruation; it makes her more prone to goiter,
provides resistance to cold, is associated with
the smooth skin, relatively hairless body, and
thin layer of subcutaneous fat which are
important elements in the concept of personal
beauty.

19. Physical Differences
7. Female blood contains more water (20% fewer
red cells). Since these supply oxygen to the body
cells, she tires more easily, is more prone to faint.
Her constitutional viability is therefore strictly a
long-range matter. When the working day in
British factories, under wartime conditions, was
increased from 10 to 12 hours, accidents of
women increased 150 %, of men not at all.
8. In brute strength, men are 50% above women.

20. Physical Differences
9. Woman's heart beats more rapidly (80, vs. 72 for
men); blood pressure (10 points lower than man)
varies from minute to minute; but she has much
less tendency to high blood pressure- at least until
after the menopause.
10. Her vital capacity or breathing power is lower in
the 7:10 ratio.
11. She stands high temperature better than does
man; metabolism slows down less.

21. Physical Differences
12. The woman's immunization system is more
complex. She produces more immunoglobulin
M. Her estrogen protects her from heart disease.
13. Males have a greater infant mortality rate.
§ More males are spontaneously aborted and
are born dead
§ 30% more males die within the first month
§ 33% more males have birth defects
14. Males are 5 times more likely to have language
disabilities and stutter.

22. Physical Differences
15. Females mature faster than males.
16. Females are chemically and biologically more
adapted to child bearing and raising.
17. Males are more clinically and biologically
adapted to hunting and providing.

23. Psychological Differences
1. "Verbal and spatial abilities in boys tend to be
"packaged" into different hemispheres: the right
hemispheric for nonverbal tasks, the left for
verbal tasks. But in girls nonverbal and verbal
skills are likely to be found on both sides of the
brain." This affects their actions and reactions.
2. "from shortly after birth, females are more
sensitive to certain types of sounds, particularly to
a mother's voice," but also to loud noises.

24. Psychological Differences
3. Girls have "more skin sensitivity, particularly in
the fingertips, and are more proficient at fine
motor performance."
4. Girls are more attentive to social contexts - faces,
speech patterns, subtle vocal cues.
5. Girls more verbal, speak sooner, have larger
vocabularies, rarely demonstrate speech defects,
exceed boys in language abilities, learn foreign
languages more easily.
6. Boys show early visual superiority.

25. Psychological Differences
7. Boys have better total body coordination but are
poorer at detailed hand activity; e.g., stringing
beads.
8. Boys have different "attentional mechanisms"
and react as quickly to inanimate objects as to a
person.
9. Boys are more curious about “exploring” their
environment.

26. Psychological Differences
10. Boys manipulate three-dimensional space better.
They can mentally rotate or fold an object better.
11. Of eleven subtests for psychological measure-
ments in "the most widely used general
intelligence test, only two (digit span and picture
arrangement) reveal similar mean scans for males
and females. There are six differences so
consistent that the standard battery of this
intelligence test now contains a masculinity-
femininity index to offset sex-related proficiencies
and deficiencies.”

27. Psychological Differences
12. Girls who are "assertive and active" and can
control events have greater intellectual
development, while these factors are not as
significant in male intellectual development.
13. More boys are hyperactive ("more than 90
percent of hyperactives are male.")
14. Because the male brain is "primarily visual" and
learns by manipulating its environment, listening
instruction for boys in early elementary grades is
more stressful for them. Girls therefore tend to
exceed them.

33. Sex created by God
1 Corinthians 11:3-5 But I want you to know that
the head of every man is Christ, the head of
woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head
covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman
who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered
dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as
if her head were shaved.

34. Sex created by God
1 Timothy 2:12–14 And I do not permit a woman
to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be
in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman
being deceived, fell into transgression.

35. Sexual Purity
1 Corinthians 7:2-4 Nevertheless, because of
sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife,
and let each woman have her own husband. 3 Let
the husband render to his wife the affection due
her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4
The wife does not have authority over her own
body, but the husband does. And likewise the
husband does not have authority over his own
body, but the wife does.
In the Context of Marriage

36. Sexual Perversion
n Adultery (poicheia) = unlawful intercourse with or
by the spouse of another.
n Fornication (porneia) = immoral sexual
intercourse, prostitution, harlotry
Works of the Flesh
Galatians 5:19-21

37. Sexual Perversion
Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery.
Fornication & Adultery
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honorable among all,
and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and
adulterers God will judge.

38. Sexual Perversion
n Uncleaness (akatharsia) = moral impurity - a
negative kathairo to purify. Sexual uncleanness
but still hiding the sin.
Works of the Flesh
Galatians 5:19-21

41. Sexual Perversion
n Lasciviousness (aselgia) = sexual immorality
without shame - absence of restraint. The
prominent idea is shameless conduct. No longer
hiding but openly pursuing the sin without shame
of being seen. Behavior which becomes like an
animal.
Works of the Flesh
Galatians 5:19-21

43. The first-ever LGBT Pride Festival will be
held at the Bradenton Riverwalk on Saturday,
March 22. The effort, which runs from noon
to 4 p.m., is organized by the Prism Youth
Initiative and its executive director, Shannon
Summers.

44. Sexual Perversion
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the
unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor
sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit
the kingdom of God.
Fornication & Adultery
