For women, how do you see your husbands or your fathers. How much of your life have they affected you? For the men, how do you see yourself? Do you feel like your fathers are proud of who you are, and what you stand for, for your successes and even your failures in life? Are you proud about who you have turned out to be? Think about it, we are all unique in our own special ways, and we all try to do our best to accomplish our goals in life.
In my life growing up, my dad has been a significant role model for me. I admired him each day, as he left the house to go to work and providing so much for my mom and each child. He worked hard outside of the home while my mom took care of me and my siblings. Some days I know it was stressful for my mom because my siblings and I can cause some great chaos in a small home. But, every day my dad would come home, give my mom a kiss, and take me and my siblings off her hands. That's how my life was, my mom took care of us while my dad went to work throughout the week. On the weekends we got both my parents home, except with those certain days when my parents needed a break from each of us, then we would get a baby-sitter for a few hours. I couldn't imagine any other way to raise a family, then how my parents did.
All families aren't the same, and everyone doesn't have the same opinion about raising children a certain way. There are those people that have voiced their opinions strongly about how men and women should be treated the same, that men shouldn't get away with things women can't. For instance, at a dry cleaners, dresses and blouses for women cost more than the shirts or pants do for men. At different hair salons, women haircuts are more expensive than men haircuts. Men get the "fun" jobs like, construction work, fire fighter, or a police officer, while women get stuck with the boring jobs sitting behind a desk or being stuck at home with their rowdy kids. There are some who have complained about why they have to be the ones to raise the kids, believe it or not.
Looking at these different job types, and men and women. We aren't the same, men have more upper body strength, which gives them that ability to be a fire fighter or a police officer. They can defend themselves against other men easier than women can. Men are more competitive than women, and more assertive. Women are more civilized, cooperative, and emotionally expressive. I am not saying one is better than the other, but I am saying we are given different abilities so that we can complement the other. It's not a terrible thing to say that we are all different. If we were all the same, would life be as enjoyable?
Honestly women, we all need men in our lives whether we like it or not. Men are the kind of people that women can't mimic, or be without. I've got a best friend and I will tell her anything because I grew up with her and I know I can trust her, I can't do that with other girls. With guys, however, I find me a good male friend and I will talk his ear off with my problems and I will cry on his shoulder and so many more things that I really couldn't do with girls. My sisters don't count because I will always tell them everything, well most of the time. If we were all the same, my life wouldn't be happy. It's like saying if we were all normal, nothing exciting in life would happen. If we all ate the same things or saw the world in the same kind of view, things would be boring. No different perspectives on life, no different attitudes to deal with. Men are not higher than women, and women are not higher than men. We are equally the same in a way, but like I said, we are all different in our own unique ways. It's what makes us, who we are.
