gender division (15)
hedistuffLayopolis, West Virginia USA6 Threads 273 PostsI have always been disappointed by forces unknown and the seemingly accepted attitudes of some that would divide men and women in genders sake. I feel that it is not only when you are in love, or married, or have a son or daughter, mother or father, etc., that we are and should be each others best friend. There appears a breakdown somewhere. As though we become pitted against one another. Generalizations arise as (unfortunately) we ride the tide. What has caused this? Can we change?

Well obviously we are differnt physicaly. We tend to pit against ourselves. There are other diferences betwine genders but if you look deep they tend to balance out, women are better at this and men better at that, neither supior just better together.

I think things really do need to change as long as females always admit that males are always right

Why should we change?
Genderising will happen, it is human nature, we are the only species that can talk and talk we will.
Let men be men and women be women...

I speak not of things physical, visual. But of psychological, sociological, neurological. I don't believe that commercial interests could ever determine attitudal influence. Perhaps as a species, we'll never know. Apparently influences lodged upon each genders psychi through time, for each of us has our own hill to climb, has only led us here. It seems a shame. But, we should be each others' best friend.

The only constant in life is change.. We, do not have the power to change anyone but ourselves..

Who said we can't be?
Some of the best friends I could ever have hoped to have are women. I can only hope if I ever find a significant other, that she is as good a friend, preferably even better!
Same as every other aspect of life, we should be celebrating our similarities, rather than focusing on our differences.

Indeed, HJ, I am all about that.
I evolve as a woman, I am a woman and I want my man to be a man.
I want to equal in my partnership when he lets me. (joke)

There is no reason why we can't be best friends. I grew up with most of my friends being male. I had too many females stab me in the back when I was younger, so I've never trusted many of them...until I came here. Here I've met some of the most wonderful women that I've ever known. And men. Look at my friends' list...there are plenty of both on there. And many more that I consider friends that somehow aren't on that list. (To them, we need to remedy that, lol.)
Men and women complement each other, balance each other. And there really are no gender stereotypes. Society makes them, but I know many who break them. For example, I've known men who can sew...I haven't a clue. Men have taught me how to cook better. And one of my ex-husbands taught me how to cross-stitch. None of them have been effeminate, either, believe me.

A best friend is just that, "A" being in the singular
By its own definition a best friend can only be singular
But one can have many friends, those who in times of crisis you can depend on to be there for you and to give needed suport.
Friendship does not depend on gender.

I was in a relationship (married) for many years. It only works, in my opinion, when both parties wants to make it work and they both compromise all the time. Once you compromise you must feel good about the change and not feel like you gave something up. I found the more I changed toward whatever she wanted the better our relationship was. I tended to receive for more in return than I gave up. We were by the way each other's best friend and trusted one another in all matters.
Sometime's life gets in the way of a happy relationship; jobs, schools, bills, stress, illness, families, etc. You need to understand these issues and "compromise" your way through them. Learn to fight fair! Be careful what you say when you are angry!! It will never be forgotten.

What has caused this? Can we change?
This all started ages ago - when we were allowed to club a woman over the head and drag her into our cave for some satisfaction. There is some resentment for that past practice.
I think women should be happy that laws don't allow that type of foreplay today .................
