Touching the woman
Err the line in the sand.
After centuries of internal strife, who could ever say for sure the role of a woman in this world? It varies upon culture, time, day and more importantly considered - her mood.
Women are incredibly strong creatures, if raised properly. They are graced with a multitude of personal gifts and attiributes, in so many ways that outweigh that of men. But then, they weren't built to be men, nor were men built to be women.
Where men can be targeted, focused and single minded (this being said as a neutral fact), women are the broad spectrum. They multi-task, can think quickly and think thoroughly.
God made man first, with the original purpose to give him a care-free life. Whether this argument is placed as to why many men want to be lazy is an argument I won't even try to face. But women were first described in the bible as a helper. That means doing some things better than a man, because in those ways she helps him.
In the terms of today's world, such skills are very valuable in the high-end, technology-driven workplace. A woman's natural skills can help run effective management within an organization through those God-given gifts of multi-tasking and thorough planning. In today's day and age, as there have been in others, women have sought a life beyond the purpogated "barefoot and pregnant" motif.
A woman, is a powerful thing. She sees things men cannot, and sees things men will not. She is a focus of heart over a man's mind, and will love a man more thoroughly than he will love her. But then, that's how men and women differ, is it not?
Where women have a strong hand within their own hearts, men prefer to rely on their heads (whether they use it or not). Women rely on their feelings within their heart, and use it to sharpen their minds and how they think about things. Men, on the other hand, use their heads to shape their feelings. A man is more likely to deliberately choose how he'll feel about something than a woman, who will change her thoughts according to her feelings.
Men baffle women in this way because women can't imagine choosing their feelings from their thoughts, when men can't imagine choosing their thoughts from their feelings. This isn't talking about a sensory feeling, as in something doesn't feel right about driving down the interstate blindfolded. This is about emotions.
A woman is the other half for the man, because if men (as straight men) had to choose to marry each other, our population would die out (sexual reproduction notwithstanding).
Women live in relationships. They relate things to each other as a matter of rote. When a woman asks a man if a pair of pants make her look fat, it's because she's relating the size of her pants to how he views her in general. Men separate their thoughts on different subjects. Where he's just looking at the single question provided, he's not considering that she'll take anything short of "Honey, you're as beautiful today as the day I first saw you," as a sign that she no longer physically pleases him, or any other number of things depending on recent coversations and how she feels at that particular moment.
Men and women can gossip, but women are considered heavier in the practice. That's because it's about the relationship of one thing to another, in a sensationalized form. That feeds their desire to learn about relationships like candy compared to brussel sprouts.
That's also one reason women can seem more vicious about fighting. Men will settle for fighting the instigator and usually let it alone. Women are more thorough, going after the honor of their opponent, their opponent's children, sister, husband ... you name it. It's about her thoroughness and her sense that if you're fighting her you're fighting the relationships entailed with her. It's an all-or-nothing fight.
Women are powerful creatures. They're an entire species to themselves, with their own culture and their own way of approaching things. While neither species should simply roll over for the other, it would behoove a man not to trample into a nest of women. Lorena Bobbit should bring enough understanding of that subject. To get back at her husband, she didn't beat him back, she went for something else.
... (a moment of silence, please)
They are all-loving or all-hating, usually in extreme forms. It's rare I find a women naturally aloof on people she begins to know. Good or bad, she'll have an opinion of someone.
This all being said, I'm not here pointing these as flaws women have. Men are certainly not creatures of perfection, by any stretch whatsoever. But I'm talking about women, not men. So stop thinking about that.
Women are wonderful creatures, crippled by nature. Why couldn't God made a woman ugly in her youth and beautiful as she aged? Why couldn't He make a man better able to learn in youth and less stubborn in his old age? These are questions that won't be answered. God does his thing, and we try and do ours.
Women are in a precarious environment in today's society. Countless years of tradition, and natural fit, call for women to stay at home and raise children. Many women want to be mothers and oft times housemakers. Others have the wifely life and jobs when they can manage. Others still reserve their God-given talents for the raising of companies and employees.
There is so little spoken here about women, but I can't talk about everything, because there is one most important fact above all others men should remember about women:
They are all proudly women, and none of them want to be considered the same as any other.
