I hoped it wouldn?t have come to this...with all the screwed-up happenings around PC I suppose this topic was bound to appear, but I?d hoped against it =/ Now I?m going to be very unpopular for saying this, but there is no such thing as supremacy of either gender, and this whole ?are boys better than girls?? or vice-versa is pointless. I?ve been around and observed enough people to realize that we?re basically the same, but we?re made to be different because society plays up the differences more than the similarities...there is no superiority, and except for a few overzealous woman-haters and amazons, I doubt anyone in society believes that there is any superiority. We?re far out of the days when women lived to cook and clean, where men farmed and hunted all day, where the nobility of civilizations past made up the foolish rules for what roles genders can have...we should be able to have male nurses and female construction workers...there?s nothing wrong with going about a task you enjoy...people I see everywhere I go coexist with both genders the same, there?s unity and equality now. I, for one, couldn?t choose, because there are different attributes of each that I prefer...for matters of love, since I am a man I search for a woman who can be a companion to me. For matters of friendship, since I am a man I can identify with other men more, thus making them easier to befriend...women are more sensitive and understanding, men understand my sense of humor more...since there are all sorts of people of all types of personalities, I can safely say that there is no mold for the way a gender should act, and anyone who says ?all of this gender acts this way? is blind to the individuality of everyone around them, or if they?ve gotten that perception from the people they do see, the individuality of those they have not and will not ever see. Men don?t have to be able to bench-press 500 LBS and down a case of beers a day, and women don?t have to love pink and be overly sweet...I don?t act like a stereotypical manly-man, I just sit at the computer, play video games, and advance my range of knowledge through reading and education, and I feel like more of a man than any macho guy could...same goes for women; pinkness and cuteness just isn?t needed these days. We need each other to survive, of course, and we usually don?t feel complete without someone of the opposite gender to help us through life...both are completely capable of completing any task set before them (as long as they?re smart enough), both feel the full spectrum of emotion, both have revolutionary ideas; when it comes down to it we?re evenly matched.
