Men and Women

I am so tired of this.

Men and women are different. In most cases they excel in different areas of life. There are those exceptions, however, where someone is born with an affinity for what is generally considered a role for the other sex. There is nothing wrong with that and I feel the true evil is trying to force that individual into a role they were not born to.


I don't understand where this need came from that men have to 'blame' everything on women. Women have to hide themselves from men so as not to incite lust, why don't men just learn to control themselves? That sounds more like a failing of men than of women, at the very least a laziness. Women are not intelligent or can't 'handle' things as well as men? Really? Try to give birth, and even in these times there are many women who lose their babies. Men, deal with that trauma over and over again. Women have had many roles through the years that have required intelligence as well: midwives/medicine women, running households, cooks, etc. Until men realized there was money to be made from these professions, and suddenly women could not handle them? Wow.
The one I never understood is what is now called OB/GYN, in today's medicine I can see how men can be in this branch of medicine but in the past how could men possibly understand this area better than women? That is real ego, 'I know your body better than you do even though mine is nothing like yours'?
Women not being allowed on the front lines in combat? For all of history women have been on the front lines of combat but unable to defend themselves. How does that make sense? You're in the middle of a war but you can't handle defending yourself so you'll have to be able to handle the consequences of not being able to defend yourself; oh, and by the way, that will be your fault and you will be shamed for not being able to stop it and might as well kill yourself because you didn't have the decency to just die at the time. That makes so much more sense.

And that's My 25 cents...
