When
it comes down to putting down a line to differentiate men from women, we come
to the realisation that those two genders turn out to be two different species.
Not just humans that are separated by their anatomical differences. Men and
women are not the same in many aspects - from their understanding of
communication styles down to each of their needs. After all, it should come as
no surprise when people say that men are from Mars and the women are from
Venus.
However,
those same differences are not mutually respected. Instead, women are often
seen as the ‘fragile’ sex while men, on the other hand, are capable of doing
any kind of work. And such a matter is most noticeable in the workforce - women
may stand at a high position, yet be given trivial tasks while their bosses
treat the men colleagues of said women with much more respect and give them
more challenging tasks. Even so, how often have you seen a woman be the boss of
a large company without her workers disrespecting her even in the slightest, for
example?
But
the differences do not end just in the working area of our lives. Both genders
are having stereotypes forced upon them. Women are taught to see men as
something primal and terrifying, they teach women to be quiet and never fight,
and to just be a lady. While men are told to ‘man up’, to never show their true
emotions, to be wealthy, to be handsome, to be a gentleman. Yet all of those
perfections clash with each other anytime a friendship develops between a man
and a woman.
Naturally,
the causes for such differences are inherited, subconsciously existing in our
minds since the day we have even the smallest understanding of what is
happening around us. But as time goes on, we come to realise that maybe the
differences in men-women relationships are specifically caused by what others
think or expect of those relations because it is hard to forget where we all
started from in the course of history - however, there is always a way to
ignore whatever is happening around you just so you can ‘do you’ and live your
life the way you want to live it.
