Women and men ARE different! (There...I said it.)?

Question

God just designed us differently. And that is what makes us interesting and exciting to one another. (What woman likes a feminine man...What man is attracted to a masculine woman??) Our differences are beautiful! Men have always predominantly been the leaders, breadwinners, protectors, and women have been the followers, nurturers, homemakers. How is that degrading to either s*x? Why can we not appreciate and respect each other for our natural roles? Isn't there anyone out there who agrees with me on this?!?

We are all of equal worth in God's eyes, but very different indeed.

Answer 1

I differ with the "god thing", but i agree with you. We are different, just let people do what they wanna do, and stop making the genders exactly the same. I mean this metrosexual c**p, why would a girl want a guy who takes as long if not longer in the bathroom than she does?

Answer 2

Boys are hairy chested and girls are double breasted

Answer 3

....and the sky is blue. What's your point?

Answer 4

Well, I'm the breadwinner and not interested in being a homemaker. So, by your assumption, am I "unnatural"?

You are free to choose the role that's right for you. What you are NOT free to do is dictate to others what their roles should be.

You appear to find it threatening that others might make choices different from yours. Is it because you need validation of your own choices?

Answer 5

That's great that people have their differences, but it doesn't mean we should be disrespected for it or be seen as "inferior" to the other.

Answer 6

i can respect men perfectly easily thanks

i don't respect anyone that wants to put me in a neat little 'woman' box however

or anyone that argues that because something is in the bible we should blindly follow whatever it says

Answer 7

I don't agree with you at all....There are REASONS why men have "always been leaders and breadwinners... and women have been followers, nurturers...."   IT IS CALLED GENDER ROLES, and these things did NOT happen by nature.  These roles were designated by men, and it's about time that everyone use their brains and realize that women are also capable of being great leaders and breadwinners, too.  There are LOTS of women who are rational, strong,  great leaders and breadwinners and protectors of their kids.  That should not make her unnatural at all, but according to your statements, it makes her unnatural.  It is a shame that some of you actually think these sexist roles were created through nature.   It had nothing to do with nature, despite what you have been taught.  It IS about sexist, puritanical controlling gender roles men gave to themselves and for women to adhere to, but masking it as "nature" or "god's will."   Well, a lot more of us are smart enough not to be led like sheep to the slaughter with that garbage anymore.  Not too many women care to be followers of men, and you can't really blame them!  Men say that estrogen makes women irrational, but the truth is, it's no worse than testosterone making men irrational.  As for "in god's eyes;  people still debate on whether or not god even exists, so you shouldn't chalk up sexism as being "natural roles."   That's just brainwashing nonsense. Some of our differences between the sexes are beautiful, but when some differences only exist out of sexist, egotistical garbage masked as natural roles,  it's ugly and sickening - not beautiful.  It's even more sickening that anybody in this day and age would actually believe any of that rubbish...But if you are happy believing that nature or god was responsible for giving men and women these sexist roles, then you can think what you want - the rest of us know better and think for ourselves.  I don't blindly swallow the sexist c**p that is spoon-fed out there.

Answer 8

Yes men and women are different, but we all deserve the same rights, and those rights include the right to choice. There will always be people following traditional gender roles and if people like the traditional gender roels they can fall for each other, but then there are people who do not conform to traditional gender roles, they too can fall for each other. The devide between men and women is narrowing which is a good thing in most areas. The differences you speak of however are stereotypical and go against choice. It isn't degrading, but if everyone was to live by those traditional gender roles without choice it would be unfair.

Answer 9

Fortunately, you live in an age where you can choose to believe what you want and live how you want.

Men and women are different, and although we are both women we are also different.

What you believe and want is not what I believe and want, and no matter how happy you think to live how you want will make you, you cannot give me the same guarantee.

We are each able to each choose our own path, but you have no right to speak for others regarding their lives, preferences or choices.

If you recognise the differences in people, you also cannot limit the form and number of those differences.

Cheers :-)

Answer 10

Agreed. Men are strong, logical and rational. Women are weak, emotional, and sensual. We are supposed to be different. All "progressive" attempts at trying to redefine what nature has already defined have failed, are failing, and will fail should they continue into the future.

This does NOT mean that men can treat women badly, nor does it mean that women can treat men badly... it means that there is indeed a natural role for men and women. Men are the plow, women are the soil. Men begat, women give birth. Men are thought-centered, women are feeling-centered. Men bring strength and logic to a relationship, women bring emotions and sensuality to a realtionship.

You are RIGHT!

Answer 11

i agree with you but i still say this women are strange creatures.

Answer 12

yes different. one is not better than the other--just different. I for one appreciate the differences. There is one difference of opinion though--women are not predominantly followers. take this in consideration---women who have and raise children are primarily concerned with ensuring the stability of their offspring, therefore they attempt to be proactive in creating a stable environment fro their children. They only follow if they find a man or system that they believe in.

Answer 13

"What woman likes a feminine man...What man is attracted to a masculine woman??) "

There are many. That's great you have your religion and you are hapy with it but men and women aren't different. Maybe you and your friends fit in with the sterotypes, but there is not ONE thing that all men in common, and not ONE thing that all women are in common.

We are all individuals and most of us do not conform with your personal reigion and beliefs.

Answer 14

I agree with you (except for the God thing), but I don't think that this rule applies for everyone.  I like traditional roles, but plenty of people don't, and that's ok.

Answer 15

"What woman likes a feminine man..."

Well, I do, and I'm not the only one. Anyway, why should you force your natural personality into a mold just so that people of the other s*x might find you attractive?

"Our differences are beautiful!"

Differences between individuals are much bigger than differences between sexes. Isn't that beautiful? Why insist that humanity only comes in two flavours (and you can't even choose which one you want)?

"Why can we not appreciate and respect each other for our natural roles?"

We should be allowed to choose what kind of life we want instead of insisting that all men play role A and all women role B. I'm not a follower or a homemaker, but if another woman (or my boyfriend) wants to be, fine.

I won't tell you what your life should be like, so kindly don't stick your nose into mine.

Answer 16

You are right to take delight in people's differences, BUT your comment "what woman likes a feminine man, what man is attracted to a masculine woman" is dismissive of a huge number of people, who are indeed found attractive to the opposite s*x.

Answer 17

Feminists around the globe are twisting and writhing in agony!

You're absolutely right, of course.

Answer 18

I disagree. Not all women want to follow men (I know I don't!) and not all men want to lead women. God made us differently in some aspects, but that doesn't mean one has to bow down to the other!!

Answer 19

yes it is such a good thing, stay bless
