"Why can't women be more like a man?"

First of all, this is completely ridiculous because we aren't supposed to be the same. We have biological differences that enable us from being like a man (not that we have any interest in it anyways). Both males and females each have pros and cons as well as a role in society (and I'm not talking about stereotypical 'women belong in the kitchen' roles). So, yeah we might like to be treated more as equals but most of us, in no way, shape, or form, want to be a man.

Men and women are both human beings with two completely different mindsets. Men over the history of time, that humans have been alive, has seen themselves as the dominate sex, which is not entirely true. Women and men are the same in terms of appearance and being  human beings. But what's different is that most women are not as mentally strong as men. Men naturally learn how to be dominate from a young age which teaches them to be controlling as they grow older in life. As women over the years has adapted to the fact that they are "below" men. As time goes on that will eventually change as women will rise to power and eventually even themselves out with men.

Why can't a woman be more like a man?

So we're all aware that everyone is born from a woman right? The ignorance that is constantly displayed by people all around the world repulses me. Why can't a woman be more like a man? Gee I don't know maybe because if we were all men the whole species would eventually die out. Or maybe because A WOMAN IS NOT AN OBJECT. A WOMAN IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE BOUGHT OR SOLD. SERIOUSLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? WHY CAN'T A WOMAN BE MORE LIKE A MAN? WHY CAN'T MEN BE MORE LIKE WOMEN? MAYBE THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MANY FRICKEN WARS IF MEN WERE MORE LIKE WOMEN. HMMMMM YEAH MAYBE. In all honestly I could go on for hours about how much this quote bothers me but I won't simply because I don't want to upset anyone with my language and opinion.

"Why can't a women be more like a man" -George Bernard Shaw

Men and women are distinctly different from each other (ask your parents), and every man and woman is different from each other.  Some may say that such a development as Shaw wishes for may be the only hope for equality.  That may be, but if this happened, who would buy all those expensive clothes?

Marked

I believe that markings are what set people different from each other when viewed. Women tend to have many markings, such as hair, jewelry, makeup, and more. Men are more similar, however some do have markings. A hat, tattoo, shades, any of these factors contribute to the idea of being a marking. To me, markings must gain my attention. I believe that everyone's markings are similar to another's.

Women and Men

Men and women are an everlasting factor of separate but equal. They both have characteristics that distinguish themselves from one another, even through simple vision. Women are different considering they have a different physique, mental stature, and personal values. They can never be like men considering they are biologically programmed to not be like them.

"Why can't women be more like men?"

I read this quote and thought of two things. One, I think society and culture limits women. In schools, sports, work and the home women aren't treated the same. And if a woman does get a equal role as a man or even dresses manly they're looked down on and seen as a "tomboy" or "lesbian." In society women are seen as the pretty little blonde who takes care of the kids and makes dinner. So I think the way society see us, negatively affects our self esteem and the way we see one another. The second thing I thought of is why should we be more like men? If we were the world would be in complete anarchy. Both genders bring great things to society and work as a team. But both deserve equal voice and your gender shouldn't define your capability of thought.

Shaw- "Why can't a woman be more like a man?"

What gets my attention about this quote is how bias it appears. The sentence can go two ways,”why can’t a man be more like a woman”, for instance. It’s almost as if shaw is saying being a woman is lesser than being a man. His word usage “be more like” when he’s talking about a man assumes that he believes men hold certain qualities that put them above women. Also, shaw puts it in the form of a question instead of just stating that women should be more like men. It’s almost like he’s trying to appeal to women and make them wonder to as if it’s someone else’s fault why they aren’t more like men.
