Male Opinions may Be More Correct SJ 5
An objective look at the values, however, shows that many of the “male” values are positive ones for organizations (especially independence, competition, focused perception, rationality, clarity, analysis and activity) whereas many of the “female” values seemed better suited to making friends than getting things done
This makes the suggestion male views may somehow be more correct than female views.

I had everything I needed, and the boy was doing as well there as he would a done at home—better, maybe, because it was so quiet; but there I WAS, with both of 'm on my hands, and there I had to stick till about dawn this morning; then some men in a skiff come by, and as good luck would have it the nigger was setting by the pallet with his head propped on his knees sound asleep; so I motioned them in quiet, and they slipped up on him and grabbed him and tied him before he knowed what he was about, and we never had no trouble.
The doctor who is treating Jim says that he is worth slightly more than what he is orginally estimated to be. This begs the question of if the doctor is treated Jim better or not as horrible.
