Women and Nature

Women and Nature
Quote:It has been proposed that "women are closer to Nature than men"

So, that women are the ones to lead the revival of a more "Eco-friendly" system of business and utilisation of resources globally.

Quite frankly I think it is a load of crock... as I firmly think that both males and females have so much to contribute to the global well being of this planet.

Your thoughts?

RE: Women and Nature
Hi Kichi,

I'm of the impression that much of the 'women are closer to nature' sentiment is a superstitious outflow of paganaism; or more accurately, modern 'spiritualist' interpretations of pagan religions (mainly Wicca). How anyone can then draw a line to eco-firendly business requirements is beyond me!

I don't think there's any data to support such a belief but I think that if such data were captured, we'd see that there's no causal link between gender and 'propensity to commune with nature'.

Who proposed this? On what basis was this proposed? Not much else I can think at the moment without you giving sources to that claim.

This is part of an Essay question. Geosciences. Tiberius.

IF you have sources I would welcome them at this point as I am just looking into this question. Big Grin

Generally when an essay question says "It has been proposed" it means just that...that someone has at some point in time proposed it. I'm just asking who proposed it, because without looking at their argument for proposing it I can't really make any worthwhile comment.
