I think it is trying to be the "same" as one another and not realizing we are of equal value...but we are not equal.

We need to learn to cherish the differences between men and women and compliment each other because there are areas we are each weak in while we are strong in areas the other is not.

Oh joy I find myself in agreement with almost everyone here. I think communication is the difference. We see thing differently because we think differently after all we make our judgments based on what we see and hear but more importantly the way we see and hear it. Or rather our perception of it. When a woman tells a man to quite being macho. In a male perspective that is the same as quite being a man. And I would imagine when a man tells a woman to quit being so emotional I guess that could be perceived as quit being a woman. I have to guess on the last one as I am a man so that last example may not be a good one but it was the best I could do at the moment. Any way what a person of the other gender says may not be meant as an attack on ones manhood or womanhood. We both bring great things to a relationship and once we can learn to understand one another better I think the need for feminism and anti feminism will be left by the wayside.

The biggest problem between Men and Women, is gender expectation. Both genders expect a great deal from one another and when it's not given, it becomes a mere failure. Two genders expecting the most from each other.

Most times, we dismiss and discredit the other for not living up to the expectation of their roles, the roles in which one believes in. Whatever it may be. A man living up to a husband role, a woman living up to a wife role, the role of being a provider and so on.

Having high expectations sometimes, can be a down fall. Then we have to stop and ask ourselves as to, "why I cannot maintain a relationship or friendship." Expectations at times, can be over-whelming. That's just the way I see it.

Sex. We've all heard the speech that sex is bad and it will ruin your life at one point or another if you don't use every precaution available, which basically amounts to abstinence.
It carries a very bad stigma. A man talks to a pretty woman in a bar, and she automatically thinks he is hitting on her. A woman smiles a little too wide at her boss and all of a sudden she's sleeping her way to the top.

Take a man and a woman; examine every aspect of their personalities, needs, hobbies, etc. and at the very end of it all compare data. You'll see all they have in common is sex.

Yes we are intelligent and we have created many many more topics and hobbies to share with each other, but I don't think the instincts have really changed. Men need to procreate and women want to raise babies. Those needs haven't changed and the only way you get that is through sex.

Society's demand of properness at all times and never offending anyone has laid a veil on the most natural thing two people could ever want to do together.

Oh excitement I discover myself in settlement with very almost particularly everybody surprising right here. i think verbal replace is the exchange. We see ingredient in a distinctive way through certainty we sense in a distinctive way ultimately we make our judgments regular on what we see and hear in spite of the shown fact that greater importantly the way we see and hear it. Or rather our concept of it. whilst a woman tells a individual to rather being macho. In a male point of view it is the equivalent as rather being a individual. and that i'd desire to think of on an identical time as a individual tells a woman to give up being so emotional I guess which would be perceived as give up being a woman. i'd desire to guess on the appropriate one as i'm a individual merely so very final representation is in all hazard no longer a nicely one in spite of the shown fact that it particularly was once the intense-high quality i could do on the 2d. Any way what a individual of the different gender says is in all hazard no longer meant as an attack on ones manhood or womanhood. We each and every carry marvelous concerns to a relationship and as quickly as we are able to be knowledgeable to realize one one greater greater i think the choose for feminism and anti feminism will probable be left by skill of skill of the wayside.

I think each gender expects the other to have the same mindset, and they don't. For example, women get offended if they are struggling to do something (like home repairs) and you don't offer to help, but men are often more offended if you *do* try to help, since they assume you don't trust them to handle whatever it is on their own. So that causes plenty of problems.

Validation, from what I read on here. Others just want to pick a fight, methinks.
Validation meaning that the others thoughts are valid, whether you agree with them or not.

It seems in order to be heard/read, one must resort to childish name-calling or just general condescension in the never-ending quest to be "right".

Nothing wrong with a heated conversation, but when insults are hurled the point of the problem is lost.

We, men and women, in order to be fair to each other and their opinions, need to at least try to see the others point of view, instead of immediately jumping on the "you're stupid and wrong" bandwagon.

I've found that whether man or woman, many people have extremely unrealistic ideas of what love is and what is required to make a relationship or marriage work. Often, the unspoken rules are:

1) If you love me, I can do whatever I want (and treat you anyway I want) and you have to put up with it and
2) Relationships don't require any work, since you have to agree with whatever I want, so there is no compromise needed.

Many people say they want a life and relationship nothing like their parents, yet much of their expectations of their partner, relationship and life are similar to those of their parents, and you end up living your partner's parents life and having their relationship--your partner seems to disappear into the woodwork.

Feminism is the biggest problem between men and women.

We react very differently to problems. Men want to be left alone when they are upset. Women want to talk about it. Sometimes this creates more conflict.

Effective and productive COMMUNICATION is the biggest problem, in my opinion.
