Respecting Women as Women: Part I of II
Natural Womanhood ^ | March 8, 2019 | Jeanette Flood

Women are not the same as men. This widely acknowledged truth applies in multiple, multiple ways beyond the obvious external differences. Each sex is more vulnerable to certain diseases than the other, and each responds differently to certain medications. Most everyone recognizes that men and women tend to think differently, and for good reason: scientific studies show that as early as in the womb, genes and hormones begin affecting brain development in different ways in males and females.

To cite just one example, females tend to be more person-oriented, while males are more task/object-oriented. “Science has affirmed … that women are better able to determine a person’s feelings simply by seeing facial expressions,” writes author/speaker Mary Beth Bonacci. “The corpus callosum—the ‘connector’ between the two halves of the brain—is larger in women than in men, making us better able to access our feelings and perform tasks that require the simultaneous use of both sides of the brain. (Men, meanwhile, are more adept at tasks that require the concentrated use of one side of the brain.)

Our society, however, has been telling us for several decades now that in order to have an even playing field with men and find fulfillment in life, women must try to become like men and/or deny what makes us women. How is that equality? Similarly, current cultural norms pressure us to harm our bodies and chemically force them to mimic men’s inability to bear children—essentially to attack our own bodies. How is that freedom?

Advocates of the total and holistic well-being of women, on the other hand, celebrate and defend women’s special abilities.

In essence, women AND men exist to bear children. Period...same as any other organism.

Meanwhile, lets devalue men...cuz we are better than they are...we said so.

Meh.

I used to respect women and the trials they endured because they were women. Not any more. as soon as they got equality, they pressed for superiority to the point that we now discuss stupid things like “toxic masculinity”. Really? STFU and fix me a sammich.

Good article. It largely reflects my own feelings on this:

Men and Women each bring something to the table. We should allow them to play to their strengths instead of forcing men to be more feminine and women to be more masculine.

That concept of forcing each sex to assume the strengths of the other sex instead of allowing them to compliment each other is extremely damaging and corrosive.

That isn’t to say men and women cannot take skills or tools from each other to better themselves and become more rounded, but this wholesale concept of “A woman can do anything a man can do” is just silly. They can’t, especially from a physical perspective.

And a man cannot do everything a woman can do. That goes without saying.
