what do we do with our observations?

Learning about behavior patterns that tend to attach to a particular sex or  gender (by nature or by culture) can help to free us. We might have been thinking (and acting) like our friend or partner *is* a certain way, but when we realize that it is characteristic of an entire sex or gender, it has the potential to free us.  We can let go of a notion that our friend or partner "should" be a certain way.   For example, if a woman thinks "her man" does not notice details, it may help for her to realize that many men tend to be busy with goal-based focus, not detail.  Likewise, if a man thinks "his woman" always wants to talk and seems too dependent, it may help for him to realize that this is the way women behave to feel closeness.

8 STAGES of any relationship of any life

1. trust - we need it to explore...if we have it not, we mistrust & thus cannot explore
   
2. independence, autonomy - we need to find it in order 2 find freedom ... if we do not, we have shame
3. initiative - we need to learn to take it ... and if we do not, we have guilt
4. industry - if we do it, we avoid a feeling of inferiority
5. identity - if we do not land on one, we become confused; everyone else seems to have one
6. affiliation and love - adult life:  we seek those we love and work we love
7. generativity - if we have passed thru all  earlier stages, we get to the point where we wish to give back
8. integrity - we feel it if we have been able to do all the above; otherwise, despair.
