Understand Men

 The question of how to understand a man is a very daunting question indeed. Just as confusing as understand a woman. The problem with trying to answer this question is because we have been living under the misconception that men and women are worlds apart. This is a fallacy.

At one point in time, as society had oppressed women, men and women tended to be very different. Men were the more aggressive leaders, and women were more meek and compassionate. The change in our society has confused these roles, and it has lead to some pretty astounding philosophical finds.

One, we are now understanding that women and men are both capable of the wide range of attributes that were at one time seperated by gender. Compassion was once a major attribute of a woman, and a weakness in a man. Now as times have forced change upon us, we have learned that for a family unit to be successful the man and the woman both need to show strong levels of compassion. Fortitude was once a very masculine virtue, and a woman needed only to rely on a man for strength. This of course has changed, and now we have seen that a woman can possess a high level of fortitude just as a man. This crossing over for women into what was once a man's world, has left a void that will soon be filled.

A woman, as we have seen is every bit as capable of being both a woman and a man. Though we have not yet seen a man be comfortable with become more feminine, if we decide to begin to keep family structures together, this will have to come to pass. A woman is learning the ways of man, and it is only natural that a man begins to learn the ways of the old style women. We are evolving...

As we begin to close the gap between woman and man, we will begin to understand one another more and more. As it stands currently, the only way a woman is to understand a man is to study themselves. Reconcile all the feelings that come from the labor of strength and responsibility, and then minus the feelings of compassion. If a woman can effectively think of thier own reaction as it would be without the value of compassion, then a woman may understand only some of the most manly men in our current society. This of course will not be true of all men, as some are evolving to become more balanced already. To generalize all women and all men is to allow a large margin for error. We are a constantly evolving specie, and we will continue to be. To understand men, you must get to know the man.
