Can Women and Men Coexist?

The differences between men and women are obvious. But it leads to question as to whether or not we are actually compatible and if we could coexist happily. Although I am not a lesbian I often think how much easier it would be to be with a woman rather than a man. I am for marriage but the divorce rate proves the question of coexistence between the sexes to be valid.

Just think about it. We like to shop, men don’t. We like Friends and Grey’s Anatomy etc., they like football.We are nurturing they are gruff. We like to cuddle and feel close to someone on an emotional level, they don’t. We cry and express our sorrows, they hide there’s and think that we are drama queens. Sex is an expression of our feelings for someone, sex to them is purely animalistic. We look at their personalities first, they look at our bodies. We gossip openly, they do the same in private (and sometimes even worst than us)yet when we do it in front of them we are once again drama queens.Men feel inadequate if they cannot provide for their families, we do not worry as much if we have our families with us. Don’t get me wrong I am not saying that men are bad or evil, I like men; I am not a radical feminist and I don’t believe that all men are like this, and I do know that we(women) have many agitating habits to men (such as taking three hours to get ready).Some of these you may say can be overlooked and that we can still coexist. But just think of all of the problems that come from these little differences. The fights, arguments, resentments, heartache, and break ups. This applies to each sex. I think that couples do help each other in many ways-emotionally, in strength, in changing tires, in moving, in inspiration etc. The problem is that we often get consumed by other things and end up not complimenting each other strengths and weaknesses.

We are suppose to balance each other. The men are to be the way they are to balance out the differences of how we are. However it feels that over the centuries this balance and equality to each other has faded. Perhaps this is because the roles have been reversed or balanced out within the world, perhaps it is due to our culture of freedom, independence, and sex. Women now contribute to the exact vision that they despise being looked upon for. We wear the short skirts and shirts that lead to the looking of the body rather than the personality.We now portray the “no strings attached” vision although have hidden agendas. (I am not saying that every woman is like this). I have a friend who tells men and portrays that  straight up that they can have her with no commitment and I get a call the next day, the next week, -upset that the boys she gave herself to no longer want her or only want her for sex. Is it that our culture tells us that we no longer need each other for success or happiness? Our culture tells us that we are independent-in no need of anything but ourselves. That the things that matter are money, success, and fame. Not codependency of a balance to each other.

Is it possible that we can reverse these roles and still maintain our independence and commitment to our cultural believes?
