Some claim that men are naturally more competitive than women. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a stereotype that

men

are genetically more competitive than

women

. In

this

essay, I will

show

that both sexes are equally competitive though in different spheres. On one hand,

men

seem to have various genetic predispositions to being competitive. One of the

men

had to battle with one another and other creatures in order to survive and gain dominance in society. In the modern world,

However

otherwise

. It can be said that the claim above completely ignores the fact that

women

can simply have other interests and
