Women vs. Men...The guide to understanding the opposing sex

What is one important fact that every woman should know about men? Well this may seem a little cliché, but apparently men are not being heard too clearly. It seems that in our post-modernist world, relationships have become the new hot topic. We’ve gotten pass understanding that Men are from mars, and women are from Venus. But we cannot get pass the constant struggle for women’s need for male validation transforming into a seeming hate tactic against men. As women struggle to understand the male psyche; read Steve Harvey’s book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, and declare their independence from men, it has become obvious that this new revolution is simply a manifestation of the fact that some women have developed an insatiable co-dependent nature; in other words their need for a man is overwhelming them to the point that it is affecting every aspect of their lives. As this continues, men are continuing to be pigeon holed into the proverbial ‘all men are sex-crazed dogs’ category. While we applaud Steve’s book for giving a peek into our minds, we have found that the topics discussed in the book are kind of redundant and does not speak to the real source of our inner-thoughts and beings. Yes, men are simple beings, but even in our simplicity there is a magnitude of complexity. Continue reading at www.iamswagger.blogspot.com.

"in other words their need for a man is overwhelming them to the point that it is affecting every aspect of their lives."
I am so glad I'm not one of these women. -
With artificial fertilization now a reality humankind should be able to ease the wars between the sexes. A man could easily supply sufficient sperm for a 100 or so women. So a human ratio of 1 male to 100 females could be easily maintained. Females would dominate all aspects of society - economics, politics, the arts, etc. Males would be treated as an unique and treasured possession. Common providers of sperm, yes, but medically transported. Direct injection of sperm from the male would be restricted to those women who have succeeded in their various fields and have risen to the heights of power and influence. Be an interesting world. I just would like to be one of those men.
Ahhh...probably too old to make the cut. Accept it, Ralph, life ain't always fair. Sigh.... -

I think this statement is a little silly. I know a lot of women, strong professional women, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc. I don't think any of them seek "male" validation. I think they seek the same recognition as men do professionally and personally.
Anyway, the whole war of the sexes thing is completely blown out of proportion and driven by stereotypes and generalization. I understand my wife and she understands me because we communicate. There is no secret to men understanding women or women understanding men. Just realize that each person is an individual and the only way to understand them is by communicating with them and listening to what they like, want, need, etc.
Oh and the day I start citing Steve Harvey books, somebody slap me! -
This is a load of psycho-babble; making generalisations of this type is extremely dangerous in trying to diagnose any particular situation.
Perhaps the best approach is to start with everyone being an individual. Trying to suggest that women have any particular propensity towards co-dependency smacks of weird anti-feminist nonsense which says that women are nothing more than a manifestation of men's guilt. Just a tip: those guys don't get dates, and in fact their entire set of theories sounds like a rationalisation as to why misogynists don't get dates. Are you as pathetic as they are? No? Then don't continue to peddle this rubbish. -
"Women vs. Men." Provocative topic. Wonder why no one ever thought of it before? -
I mostly agree with what the BC user has started for this discussion but both men and women are actually very volatile in many aspects.
One could not fit all of the men/women in the world into a single "pigeon hole", although the vast majority of such people would make one individual think otherwise.
And, i believe that if a woman were to face undesirable complications or setbacks with the most important relationships with the men in their lives, they are actually quite instinctive in seeking other avenues or alternatives to empower themselves. Though it may not turn out for the best for them.
