"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle"
and was adapted from Vique's Law which states

Meaning
A feminist slogan.
Origin
Often attributed to Gloria Steinem. Other claims for origination point to Flo (Florynce) Kennedy, or to an anonymous author who painted the slogan on a wall at University of Wisconsin in 1969.
Above is the meaning and origin. As far as it being true, it's a saying, sayings can have a grain or two of truth in them, but more often then not sayings are just that, sayings.

And we are decrease back to this communicate. there became a time even as women were no longer equivalent previously the regulation and actually needed a guy so that they could have a roof over their heads and foodstuff on their tables. If a woman might want to no longer come across a guy to marry her, she both had to stay with a brother and his spouse (were she so fortunate as to have one) or stay abode and nurse her father and mother of their previous age - were that an determination besides. So women heavily needed adult men and would get married in spite of mutual affection or charm. Now, after years of warfare, women are equivalent previously the regulation and we can vote and carry jobs and signal leases and purchase homes and so on. So we do not favor adult men interior a similar way and we can pick out of marriage and nevertheless have a reliable established of residing. this does no longer advise women no longer pick the affection and affection of a life significant different. And the vast majority of girls are instantly so that they are searching for a guy. even though it signifies that now we get to pick someone with whom there is mutual affection and charm. And it signifies that a guy receives to keep in mind that his spouse truly should be with him - because she has different concepts.

I never heard such a saying... that implies a woman does not need a man, so it must be a lesbian saying.
A woman may not need a man but it sure is nice when she has one that she loves and loves her back. Balance is important. We all have something we are good at and we as humans need that with and from each other.
