Perhaps, it would be beneficial to women ... we wouldn't have all the confusion have. At one time, women weren't this confused about their place. Looking now, we are 99% confused about our place.
The only place women should have is "equal" alongside men. But i always thought that, anyway. Origin of country is no exuse either. Who says one gender is superior over another, but those who come from a "place" of (learned cultural bahaviour, or the mysogynist's psyche..)
Fear and insecurity, shouldn't be the burden of anybody; male, female or space alien..
Being physically stronger doesn't make you superior, it just means your stronger. There's a place for (many) strengths in this world. Strength of mind and character are just as important and longer lasting, since even the 'mighty' sooner or later get weak. i don't see being hard cold and mean, as a strength. However, you "can" be emotionally stable, otherwise.
"women are better at men at some things like blowjobs and cooking. Celebrate your strength instead of undermining your weaknesses.."
This sounds like a mysongynist's statement, imb ..
Nobody has a right to define the worth of another; man, woman or beast ..that's up to a much higher power.
LOL, OF COURSE we have biological differences, that's wonderful and should be celebrated. Call me an idealistic fool; however, i also believe in the "higher" spectrum of things.. You have to see and appreciate both the forest and the trees.
I think people who assume women have no status in Islam simply don't understand it. Women have a lot of respect and a strong status. They are usually much stronger characters and much more demanding from their menfolk than we are. It's just a different way of life that we in the west who are not in that cultural sphere cant comprehend.
"What constitutes as "strenght"? Because they arent crazy? I dont see the connection. Because they show their feelings they arent emotionally strong? There is logic or your ideology... but than there is chemicals within your body you cant control, when it comes to biology it is what it is."
Certainly there are chemicals...but just because you may not be able to beat a man evenly matched to you, doesn't mean another woman couldn't...I don't believe it's soley based on chemical reaction and biology. Adreniline affects strength, ability and performance profoundly.
As far as women being more emotionally involved, which as Brahns statement..i couldn't disagree more. I posted the picture of the infamous "Chrissy" the gay man who is Britney Spears' biggest fan...very emotionally invovled in a way I've never seen in a woman.
All I'm saying is men and women are completely capable of doing what the other can, given the right circumstances. There is no such thing as a law or golden rule of "Gender." Gender is science, not rules...
women are born everyday with more testoreone than a man who might be born with less. He is still a man, she is still a woman. She will be stronger, he will be more emotional...they still have the junk of the gender they're born to, they are still men and women, just not by such a narrow definition of strength and emotion.
This is an awesome article about Michelle Obama....you all might enjoy it, speaking of women's lib and such. here is a very independent woman who will now be, well, we'll have to see how she manages it. I'll be watching
