In the Book V, Socrates has talk about the difference between the male and female, and in his opinion, there is no different between the man and woman. But in fact, there are many people think that Socrates’ idea is wrong, so I’m going to argue that whether this opinion is correct or incorrect.
As we all know, generally, the man are usually stronger than the woman, and the woman are usually more careful than the man. So, I believe that the man and woman have the differences in some areas. In hence, I decide to verify that whether Socrates’ opinion is true or false.

Although, in most time, man is stronger than the woman, but it’s the difference of physical fitness, not the essence. And in nowadays, people are more focus on the nature of things, so if a man and woman have the same talent in one thing, they are essentially the same, and Socrates’ opinion is
