**This is dependent on whether you are referring to biological differences or sexist stereotypes that have been created in society.** There are clear physical differences between men and women that are no product of discrimination but purely natural and biological. However, discrimination has caused these biological differences to be a source of sexism as men and women continue to be treated differently in society. For example, there are no biological features that would mean women are more suited as homemakers, yet societal gender norms and socialisation pushes women into these stereotypical routes. This is then perpetuated by the discrimination women face in the workplace and public sphere - such as hiring discrimination, gender pay gap, and lack of opportunities into higher positions.

**Differences between men and women can be traced through life long sexism and discriminations.** Men and women are discriminated against differently through their whole lives. Sexism affects us from birth all the way through into adulthood and this discrimination creates nurtured differences between men and women.

Girl toys, on the other hand, are usually pink and passive, emphasizing beauty and mothering.](https://qz.com/1764372/why-gender-neutral-toys-do-and-dont-help-fight-sexism-2/) - Early primary school is the time where [boys begin to distance themselves from girls and from behaviours stereotypically perceived as ‘feminine’](http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/13240/) through behaviours of put-downs and bullying. - A quarter of all secondary school teachers say they witness [gender stereotyping and discrimination in their school on a daily basis](https://neu.org.uk/advice/its-just-everywhere-sexism-schools). It starts in childhood and in schools, perpetuated through playground talk, friendship groups and language. The product of this is then that men and women emerge out of their youth as very different from each other because of their completely different experiences growing up asa things have been angled against them very differently. This then culminates a more divisive culture on the whole which makes us all the more different.
