So why does it matter if we need eachother or not?

Question

I am seeing these questions asking if women really need men and visa versa, but why are we asking this? Have we become this insecure in ourselves that we can't accept the help from another person of the opposite s*x? Women and men were intended to help out each other. We pick up the burden that the other cannot carry.

Why are women and men always at war with each other?

Answer 1

Because it is not good in the eyes of the Lord.

Answer 2

I think it's mostly the young people on this forum having this trouble. Perhaps they are still searching for their own identity. Thus, they feel compelled to be 'strong' on each other by acting tough. "I don't need you" kinda thing.

As we age, we learn to feel more comfortable in our own skin, so to speak. ♥ ∞

Answer 3

Women and men don't need each other, they want each other.

"Why are women and men always at war with each other?", its really just the sexist men and women that are at war with each other, but normal men and women appreciate each other,but both sexes know  were equal.

Edit:The only thing men need women for and visa versa, is reproduction, the real needs of people are water,food, shelter,clothes,education,money etc, you don't need the opposite s*x for those needs.

Answer 4

I find it very troubling as well.  It is the US vs THEM mentality.  Maybe these people have been very wronged in their life...or maybe they feel threatened by "them".

Answer 5

Humans are clubbish and herd-like. They only assist each other in disasters.

Men gravitate towards men for companionship and women for other things; women gravitate towards men for companionship and sometimes don't find it, then go to women for solace.

It doesn't have to be this way, but we learn very slowly, and change even more slowly.

Answer 6

I think people need other people.  I don't know whether men specifically need women, or women specifically need men.  Lots of us want the opposite s*x for... well... s*x.  But some of us are g*y and want the same s*x for that stuff.  

I don't know whether I *need* men.  If I didn't ever meet men, I think I would be able to be satisfied with female company.  But I definitely want men.  I just like them - as friends, colleagues and lovers - and I don't actually want to be at war with them!

Answer 7

some weren't true to themselves.  

Answer 8

I think people percieve admitting that they need the other s*x as admitting some kind of inferiority. Instead of embracing the duality of the male/female s*x, and using it to complement each other, we're too busy trying to prove that there are no differences, and if there are any differences then women must have the superior position.

Men and Women are DIFFERENT. Men can't do some things women do, and can outperform them every time in other areas. There is no shame in admitting this, and maybe once more people realise that, the endless competition will stop.

Good luck trying to convince either side from putting down their guns though.  

Answer 9

cuz its guys that need us....  speshaly for s*x...  they want it an expect it all the time from us...  but we women r lucky...  we do jus fine without guys...  we DONT NEED MEN for anything....  but they need us for evrything....   an they HATE US cuz they no we dont need them but they need us...   we women do pick up an carry our own burdens...  but guys expect us to carry there burdens as well as ours...

Answer 10

I asked mine just to see if people would react so fiercely against me by asking the reverse question as they did Bryan on his question.  I still can't figure out what was so wrong with his question, and I won't now since it's been deleted.
