A question was posed in Gender and Woman's Studies asking men if they were women, what kind would they be.

Question

If I were a woman I would:

Want a man who was good with children, kind, and put my needs and childrens' needs above his own.

I would appreciate him for this.

I would want to be his helper, since he chose me above all women.

If he needed me to work I might not be fond of it, but I would know he's doing his very best, and would do my best to help him out.

I would want to do everything I could to build him up, give him confidence, and show him that I am his not matter what so that he can go out that door and give the world his all for me.

I would want to make sure he knew I was his and no one elses. Part of that might mean I'd choose not to where clothes that half my body hangs out of for other men to see. Clothes like that I might put on for him, later.

If the kids had me worn out, I might ask him to do me a huge favor, and give me a bath after they go to sleep.

Who knows, maybe in another life I'll be a woman. If so I hope this is the kind I'll be.

Answer 2

everybody should put themselves first even if they have children they will burn out if they dont, because if they do not care for themselves first, then how can they care for others.  For example, if they dont care for their health, their self worth, self love, self meaning, how can they understand others. I think you have to strike a balance, you can be too giving or too selfish, just have to learn to comprimise on certain areas and still have an identity of your own and put themselves first.  I suppose you are on the right track about everything else, seems like you would make a appreciative woman but women are not that helpless and weak that they need a bath from a man. Maybe you have alot to learn what it is like to be a women but its a start.  Good luck.

Answer 3

As long as I can be all of things and still have my own needs met, then I don't see the problem. The problem of course is this kind of "woman" is supposed to give up her own welfare in service of everyone else. And that is NOT desirable. Nor is it reasonable to ask. Better to get a robot, then they won't even ask for a bath!

I am all about uplifting, supporting and making my partner shine. I am his biggest fan, cheerleader and PR agent. However, he is also all those things to me. Reciprocity is the key.
