place a dividing line between men and women? Yes we are different in many ways, but there is not much in: the home, on the street, and in the work place that women can't do the same as a man, or just as good of a job if not even better then men. Not to put men down in any way, but if a man did not feel (for lack of a better word) Weaker then a woman, just maybe we all can work together instead of cut each other off at the knees.

You're right in many ways, except one. Be honest, if a woman knew she could do things better than a man, would she retain the same respect for him? It's not that men fear being weaker. it's they have to appear stronger or society treats them differently. Example: My wife and I both worked, she worked graveyard as a nurse, so she could be home during the day when the kids came home. She got put on days and we were having trouble with our oldest daughter. We had saved money and I was in the position to take time off from work.
I did the shopping, running errands etc. Even our friends began to question my motives. Joking I was living off of a woman, not pulling my weight and the jokes flew one after another. Even though we had to cut back a little we were far from starving, yet people made stupid jokes. We had decided together it was the right thing for us, but that didn't matter. Women have the choice of being a stay at home mother, men don't have the same choices. We are accused of being lazy, weak, stupid. So be careful when you say men are afraid of appearing weak, because maybe in your eyes they already are. And well all is said and done, will a 'weak' man be enough for you, or someone equal intellectually be better? Why oh why do women send out mixed signals?

There are many jobs that women cant do the same as a man. Fireman, police officer, heavy lifting, and other physical jobs. Not to put women down, but its a fact that almost all of them dont have the physical strength to carry a full grown person down a ladder. Women also tend to take more time off and many just view their job as temporary because they eventually plan to have children and take a few years off, while men will work all the way through retirement. Too say that women can do some of the jobs that men do just as well and even better is not true at all.

Women talk like this but really want their man to a real man. They lose respect for him if he becomes too civilized and they run off with the macho guy who cleans the neighbors pool.
UGH!!!!!

hormones are really what seperates men from women. This is why men are bigger physically, and why men usually are more dominant and protective. Not to reinforce steriotypes or anything, but women are generally more timid when it comes to physical confrontations.

A societal reinforcement that men are better than women.
We must stop this nonsense
