Conner, Michael G. "Understanding The Difference Between Men And Women." http://www.oregoncounseling.org/ArticlesPapers/Documents/DifferencesMenWomen.htm. 1999. Web.
Michael G. Conner wrote this article to help men and women realize that the issues they have between each other are purely manefestations of nature and it is not their fault. The article includes different areas of where men and women are different. Some of these differences are sensitivity, memory and problem soloving. The main focus of the article is the fact that Conner wants couples to go to therapy because he believes it helps the couple understand each other and thus makes a longer, happier relationship. Of course, Conner is a medical psychologist, so he might skew some facts so he can get some business. (106)
“It is my position that men and women are equal but different. When I say equal, I mean that men and women have a right to equal opportunity and protection under the law.” (Conner)
Counciling can help benefit each other, and even learn to appreciate each other more through the differences you have. (Conner)

Hensly, Amber. "10 Big Differences Between Men's And Women's Brains." http://www.mastersofhealthcare.com/blog/2009/10-big-differences-between-mens-and-womens-brains/. 16 June 2009. Web.
In this article, Amber Hensly states that there are 10 big (emphasis on the big) differences in men and women’s brains. In her paper, she is trying to convince men and women that we are different, and its alright, because there is nothing we can do about it, because a lot of the differences are mental. When she refers to differences in the brain, she is mainly talking about reactions and how we process information, instead of biological makeup. Examples of such are mathematical abilities, reactions to stress, language, and emotions. She even goes into which metal disabilities are more prone for each gender. (104)
Men’s brains are bigger typically because they need more neurons to move the typically larger body and larger muscles. (Hensly)
Men tend to fight stressful situations while women tend to approach and befriend the situation. (Hensly)

Lehrer, Jonah. "Men Vs. Women." http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2009/03/men_vs_women.php. 25 March 2009. Web.
Jonah tries to take on the argument of which sex is better at decision making. Women have often been told that they have intuition and thus are more rash with their judgement while men are more thoughtful. Lehrer talks about this debate through several references to great thinkers such as Kant, Aristotle, and Stanley Hall. Most of his paper is composed of straight quotes or theories from them. He often included quotes from both sides of the argument, so he is really impartial about the topic at hand and does not have much of a slant on the whole debate. (100)
“Kant elaborated on the "softness" of the female mind and associated abstract thought with men; women, in contrast, were good at dealing with the concrete and mundane.” (Lehrer)
“Aristotle, Kant and Hall didn't cite evidence or experiments for the frailties of the female mind - they just assumed it as given.” (Lehrer)

"Difference between male and female structures (mental and physical)." http://www.steadyhealth.com/articles/Difference_between_male_and_female_structures__mental_and_physical__a613_f0.html. 17 March 2007. Men's Health, Web.
Men’s Health wrote an article about the difference in female structures in the physical and the mental sense. They were very thorough in their explanations of the differences, and there were quite a few they pointed out. Fourteen different physical features were pointed out by the doctors who helped out with this paper, along with diseases that each gender are likely to get. They went into some mental health, along with mental disabilities. To wrap it up, they went into behavioral differences and what occupations each gender is more likely to go into. Overall, the article was very informing and easy to understand. (103)
Women are more likely to attempt suicide, but men are more successful with it (Men’s Health)
”Differences in intake and delivery of oxygen translates into some aspects of performance: when a man is jogging at about 50% of his capacity, a woman will need to work at over 70% of her capacity to keep up with him.” (Men’s Health)

Antonio Caldara was the son of a violinist born in 1670 or 1671 in Venice (exact date unknown). He became a member of the choir at Saint Mark's in Venice, where he learned how to play several instruments. It is thought that he learned to play these instruments from Giovanni Legrenzi. In 1699 he moved to Mantua, where he became maestro di cappella to Charles IV, Duke of Mantua. He was a pensionary of France with a French wife, who took the French side in the War of the Spanish Succession. Caldara removed from Mantua in 1707, after the French were expelled from Italy, then moved on to Barcelona as chamber composer toCharles VI of Austria, the pretender to the Spanish throne who kept a royal court at Barcelona. There, he wrote some operas that are the first Italian operas performed at Spain. He moved on to Rome, becoming maestro di cappella to Francesco Maria Marescotti Ruspoli, 1st Prince of Cerveteri. While there he wrote "La constanza in amor vince l'inganno" (Faithfulness in Love Defeats Treachery) for the public theatre at Macerata. In 1716, he obtained a similar post inVienna to serve the Imperial Court, and there he remained until his death.

Caldara is best known as a composer of operas, cantatas and oratorios. Several of his works have libretti by Metastasio.
