A Comparison of Men and Women Essay -- comparison compare contrast ess

Men vs. Women      Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   I do not pretend to be a complete expert in the vast world of men and women. However, as one of these creatures, I decided early on in life to do my best to figure out the relationship between us and our counterparts. This was very interesting to me because, unlike most people, I do not believe that we simply "evolved" to become what we are today. I believe we were created the way we are by a very big God who knew what He was doing, and did it for a purpose.   After a mere 18 years of observation, I have concluded that we as humans are trying to look too deeply into the purpose of "man" and "woman." We make the relationship too complicated. We need to stop prying into why men like football and women like quilts, and simply accept that we do. That is the way it is. And as I shall point out, that is the way it is best.      Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   You may have recoiled at my earlier statement that men like football and women like quilts. I admit that it is a gross simplification of the differences between men and women.   However, you knew what I was talking about. These are the stereotypes that have been pounded into our brains since we were age two.   The man is the grunting, unfeeling one in the easy chair, who only takes a break from football to work on his car, or go drink with his buddies.   He is a brute, and is not interested in communication, only sex.   The woman is the one who screams at spiders, nags at the children, shops till she drops and holds those amazing sessions with her friends where all who are present talk at the exact same time for an hour and then pack up the coffee cups and diaper bags and leave with a complete understanding of everything that was said.        Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  ... ...us into a concentrated effort to fulfill the desires of our spouses. It is then that we would find more harmony in our homes. As Henry W. Longfellow wrote in "Hiawatha": "As to the bow the cord is/So unto man is woman;/Tho' she bends him,/She obeys him./Tho' she draws him,/Yet she follows;/Useless each without the other."   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   And so we are.      Works Cited Tannen, Deborah.
