3. Do you think women are more pressured to grow up than men are, and if so, why/why not?

1. Nothing, as long as you don't lose your sense of wonder.
2. Arguably, wisdom.
3. I think so, but I'm not sure why. It may not be pressure, as much as it is fact that it happens in general, or at least it is due to expectations. In no small part, I think it may be the procreation and nurturing aspects of women's nature. But I'm no expert on the matter.

1. What aspect of your life now do you miss that you once enjoyed in childhood?
2. Do you feel that relatively, wisdom came to your earlier than most, or were a slow-turner, to come to terms with realizations later in life than most?
3. Do you have any problem IN GENERAL with the scientific concepts that child-bearing females are mostly the nurturing gender, while the male gender in suck relationships are still the dominating hunter-gatherers? (I have no doubts that this is shifting of late, but isn't it still the general case?)
