Difference

So, this is not my "for class" blog. This is just what is on my mind. I will do the "assignment" next.

Remember when we talked about what our "difference" is. Well, generally speaking, I feel like a woman's difference, in comparison to a man, is revolving around her emotional mindset. It is what makes us who we are. Our world view is what makes us women and if you took away that feminist epistemology and emotional background you would have... well... a man.

Now, I look at the world and I see that women who remove this side of their lives are commonly alone. They are too similar to men themselves. No man wants to marry a woman who is man-ish, who hides her emotions. They call her a bitch. Yet, if most men desire a woman's woman... why do they seem to have such little respect for what makes us different and what makes us into that woman that they desire? Our emotional side.

I personally think that it is the fact that they are terrified of what they do not know. I can relate. I feel similarly toward them. The way they compartmentalize and react drives me crazy; yet, I genuinely feel like when they show their manly colors and differentiate themselves from women, I take a step back and try to wonder about why it is... logically. However, it seems to be the opposite for men. When emotions get involved they take a step forward and try to force their views in our faces. Why can't they just step back and see that we don't see things the way they do. Why are they trying to take away the thing that makes us who we are.

Are they scared of the unknown? Or simply scared of the challenge...

They need to make up their minds.

PS. I don't intend for this to be a Man Hating post. I just genuinely wonder about this subject. Please feel free to respond. ;)
