Battle of the Sexes

Some wars are never meant to be won. While some wars should never be fought. Why is there such tension between the sexes? Men battle for dominance, while women battle for independence. The hardest man hopes that when he goes to bed at night that its next to a soft woman. The most "independent" woman hopes that when something goes wrong that she will have a man that can fix it. Dispute this if you want, but search your heart and you'll find it to be true. One of the craziest is things is when you see homosexual couples. With men you have one strong while one plays the more feminine role. With women you have a soft woman with the must dude looking woman. Why even go after the traits of sex you claim you don't want? The truth is because you can't escape the nature of how relationships are supposed to go. There have to be opposite roles.This is the way it works in all other forms of life. Animals don't even think about it. Sadly for humans, sometimes thinking can be a liability rather than a strength. Over thinking can be detrimental. It's simple to go with what nature has ingrained into us, but over thinking leads to the ill-fated "what if". "What if", is a thought process that has spiraled mankind into some very dark and disturbing choices and realizations. Another problem that plagues the sexes is gender bias. There is this idea that because a man is not a woman that he can't possibly have any idea or say about a woman's body or vice versa. This flawed argument is proven asinine every time a woman goes to see a man doctor or vice versa. This seems so logically, but sadly is often overlooked. So quick is the retort heard, "You don't know because you're not......". While certain distinct different physical characteristics can't be experienced by one gender or the other does not completely dismantle the ability for there to be some kind of understanding of the opposing sex. If this were not possible, then single parents with opposite gender children would be doomed for failure. It is accepted in that case passively, but when overly presented it is appalling to even mention. A woman says, "I have the right to abort a child because it' my body!" True enough it may be her body, but why do women forget that half of that unborn life belongs to the father. Far too often is that retort thrown out with no fore thought or regard to all the factors included. " It's my body!" No one is debating that fact, but don't be so naive as to believe that someone of the opposing gender just might know a little something that could be useful in what you do with "your body".
