Men Versus Woman

Comparative Essay

15 March 2013

Man versus Woman The life of a man is similar to the lives of other men. The life of a woman is different from the lives of other women. Men think they have to be powerful and aggressive. Women tend to be shallow, but they think more about other people than themselves. A typical man works, sleeps and does whatever he wants to do instead of thinking about other things like the feelings of a woman. Women would do anything in their power to keep anyone happy, especially her man. Women also can do just about anything a man can do. This means they have the same opportunities for advancement as men do. A man and woman might not always think alike, but when they have to, they do. Although men think and act like they are the dominant ones, women also have a say in being dominant, too. Men go about thinking they are more dominant than women. Since they do all the hard working, they expect to come home to a dinner made just for them and a television with their channel on. Men expect so much from women but women do it out of the kindness of their hearts. Do men do anything for women? Some do and some done. I am talking about the men who don’t. The men who think they could have the whole world handed to them just because they are more masculine and think women should bow down to their every need. Women do everything for men. A woman cooks for their man, does their laundry, makes their beds and does whatever a man asks her to do. They do all of the shopping, pay the bills (with the man’s money, of course) and even make important phone calls because they don’t have the social skills or the brains to get something important done. In Judy Brady’s “I Want a Wife”, talks about everything a man should do for a woman. It is actually a woman talking about it because she knows how much effort a woman puts into caring for her husband, a child and herself. So she explains what it is that she wants done

    Dave Berry is a hilarious and captivating writer. In his article he breaks down three characteristics of what a guy, not man, is. First and foremost, he explains how guys like neat stuff, as he puts it. For example, purchasing over qualified computers for miniscule assignments. While not using the computer for its upmost potential. Or how the space shuttle is still around for guy’s entertainment. Basically, the shuttle breaks down, they fix it, and get to send it back up to space all over again. For the hundredth time. He continues to explain the next and most well-known characteristic of men. One I should have guessed, guys like a really pointless challenge. For instance trying to see who could go the fastest…

    Have women proven that their capable of performing at the level of men? Women 's rights have been an ongoing movement and issue for hundreds of years. They have already proven that regardless off the obstacles that have been placed by others that they can still strive for success. Although improvements have been made, women still only earn 75 cents of a man’s dollar. Since Cady Stanton 's declaration women have broken miraculous barriers. Now that women are breaking away from the shackles bestowed upon them, women have learned to understand the importance of freedom. Uneducated judgments and inaccurate stereotypes on a group of people is never acceptable.…

    Traditional gender roles are being threatened in today’s economy, the out-dated stereotype that men are better workers than women is now absurd. Although, the stereotype that women can take care of the household better than men has not changed. For as long as human behavior has been documented there have been strict ideals of the different gender roles in parenting. These hunter and gatherer sub sequential gender responsibilities have fundamentally defined what the correct social position for men and women are, yet recently in some households those traditional gender roles have become reversed.…

    The difference in how men are treated to how women are treated is not a thing of the past. In fact, its 2011 and women are still not equal to men. In my home, I am “the one who’s responsible for house chores and the kids,” per my husband. Many people still have such frame of mind when thinking about gender responsibilities, and it is important to learn where such thoughts originated from. Women have come a long and exhausting way.…

    Many individuals may believe that gender stereotypes and typical norms amongst the sexes are long gone, but these traditional views for both men and women, according to society, are still quite prevalent today. This human experience, that men and women both have specific roles to play in society, has been around since the beginning of time and will most likely continue for decades and centuries to come. Men are viewed, by societies standards, as being strong, dominant (at least more dominant than a women), leaders, and they should always restrain from showing weakness. Ronald Levant, a physiologist, explains in his article Men and Masculinity that men are prone to be raised as their fathers were,…

    First, I am a mother and a wife, a woman. As of right now I am what society sees as the norm for a mother and wife role. My Husband goes to work and I stay home and take care of our two small children. I cook, clean, and make sure everything is overall always in order at home. While I feel like this is expected because my husband works, I do still think that if I did too, or only, or if he did not, that I would still typically be expected to maintain the household and the children. While some can see this as an advantage, there are also cons. Such as, woman are seen as weaker, and/or easier targets. Also, there are somethings that are so much easier for men, like being uneducated and still being able to get and rise statuses within a job.…

    Guys Vs Men

    • 492 Words

    In the short reflection, “Guys vs. Men,” Dave Barry examines the differences between guys and men in a humorous passage that confronts many societal stereotypes about gender roles. Barry explains the difference between a “man” and a “guy,” although he admits that even he is not sure of what it really means to be a “guy.” Guys, he says, are not concerned with details or re-arranging furniture; they like to play with complex and elaborate things to occupy themselves. Guys are also relentlessly competitive creatures, and they strive to be the best at whatever they do. It does not matter if the contest in question is completely pointless and irrelevant; guys still have to outdo one another. Many of the greatest inventions and technological advancements in history have come from the essential nature of men and their desire to perform as well as possible. In addition to outdoing each other in physical competitions, guys also must outdo each other when it comes to other manly things, such as trucks or computers. Even though the truck or computer a guy currently owns may be more than adequate for his needs, he will unavoidably upgrade to a bigger and better model within a few years. Women often do not understand why men act the way they do, and the same is true regarding the man’s view of women. The passage’s purpose is to send out the idea that there is a difference in being a “man” and a “guy.” Barry wants people to understand the nature of guys even though it is impossible to understand. The audience is most likely people who enjoy humor. I’m sure Barry doesn’t care whether men, guys, women, or ladies read this. If the female sex reads “Guys vs. Men,” then I’m sure Dave Barry’s intention for the female reader is to clarify a few things on why guys do the things they do. The passage is very clear and somewhat descriptive. It explains and brings in stories outside the main topic. It uses some metaphorical…

    The role of men and women has always been unique and different to every eye. Some may base their opinions off of own experiences and some may base theirs off of what they see or hear. Has it ever occurred to you why people, men and women, are different from each other? In time, the difference of roles for males and females hasn’t really changed much. The males are still considered more of the dominant gender of the two. Gilgamesh, Oedipus the King, and Achilles are all looked at as heroic warriors that use their intelligence and power to fulfill their quests. However, women still have tasks to accomplish and fulfill as well, but many people tend to push that aside due to the fact they feel those matters aren’t as important. In my opinion, the role of men and women can relate at times, yet be different as well.…

    True Women and Real Men

    • 1936 Words
    • 8 Pages

    True women and real men are only the image that children have been brought up to become as they grow. Little boys aren’t always hardwired to like only dinosaurs and trains. This is just the same as how girls don’t necessarily choose to play with dolls. Even colors such as blue and pink are made to be associated for specific genders at an early age. The concept is just a grouping of stereotypical male and female characteristics that don’t necessarily always apply to individuals in either gender. Examples include such statements as that men must not show emotion and that men believe the most important thing is sex. Masculinity is also thought to be displayed by a man who is able to provide for his family by holding a job and excelling at a profession. However, a hate of having to commit and to always act tough in all situations isn‘t in all male genes. Sometimes men in many cases actually greatly value a woman’s loyalty. A female can be independent and successful without a husband or any other men in her life. They take up jobs and strive…

    On Golden Pond

    • 3000 Words
    • 8 Pages

    In our contemporary world, it is almost universally the case that men are valued more than women. Customs as well as social institutions subordinate women to men. The imposition of patriarchal power, which has come to dominate political, social, economic, and even family life, the male species all over the world have come to take the essential roles in the society while the women have ended up being debarred. men are the superior gender in terms of their biological and sociological aspects. Women, as expected, are secondary to men because of their physical shortcomings and weaknesses caused by their biological composition that, consequently, limits the place of women within the boundaries of the home and their role as a wife and supporters of their husband. Such kind of power play between the roles of men and women and how these roles impact the family is discussed in the movie On Golden Pond. In this movie, we see how control dominates the life of Norman who, even during his senility, inflicts power over the people around him, thus gravely affecting his relationship with his daughter Chelsea.…
