INIT AULT S What does Plato mean by the natures of men and women are said to differ"? Read the passage, then answer the question. The argument is, that different natures have different uses, and the natures of men and women are said to differWe do not consider that the difference may be purely nominal and accidental; for example, a bald man and a hairy man are opposed in a single point of view, but you cannot infer that because a bald man is a cobbler a hairy man ought not to be a cobbler. -The Republic, Plato * Men and women have different points of view. Men and women make different types of inferences. Men and women have different thoughts and ideas. Men and women have different looks and physical abilities.
