RELIGION AND SOCIETY

Religion and Society ~ 413 ~ everyday matters, and places men in a position of dominance. ‘Men have authority over women….”7 This principle was latterly rejected by man-made law as totally wrong and unjust. But the experience of one hundred years has shown that, in this matter, revealed law is closer to reality. In spite of all the socalled successes of the women’s lib movement, man, even today still enjoys the position of the dominant sex in the civilized world. The champions of women’s emancipation have all along asserted that the difference between men and women was a factor produced and perpetuated by social environment alone. But in modern times, this issue has become the object of in-depth studies in various interrelated fields, and it has been demonstrated that the difference in the sexes is explained by biological factors. Harvard University’s Professor of Psychology, Jerome Kagan, concludes that, “Some of the psychological differences between men and women may not be the product of experience alone, but of subtle biological differences.”
