Some think most men are insensitive and women are emotional. Some does not like to dwell in thinking about too much problem, being irresponsible and totally dependent. Such as in the case of most men just like to indulge in drinking just to make them calm or think they could erase their problem through drinking while women likes to cry. Do you have any ideas how women and men could correct themselves about the other gender think about them?

men are from mars and women are from venus and those are the saying i often heard. well they are just sort of a jokes. though some writer mention it and from my understanding it is the way they classify men and women from their types of personalty and including differences. they are many typecast and think to hate some common notion about them need changes a lot.

yes, that very true both have there have own character and unique in great sense. it is up to us to use in a nice way. by the way, both men and women complement each other. without them this world would be bore to love. and they could be a god friends too making each other happy. gives advices and help each other when one is in trouble.

Women and men are the same in some ways and the only problem is that we do not admit it. The idea of men that i want to correct is the way they think they dominate women. There are women who can do the job of a men, and some find it more productive and artistic compare to them. They just have to accept there are some women that can do it now. in a relationship I do not want men to always dominate it not because in the future they are the head of the family. I want men that respect women's point of view. In this way, I feel women are well respected and well loved.

yes, that very true as the society dictates women are subordinate to men. so this become a stigma to the women capability S SOMETHING WEAKER BUT THE TRUTH IS WOMEN COULD EXCEL IN DIFFERENT FIELD ONCE DOMINATED BY MEN. THE ONLY REASON THE GAP S WIDEN , BECAUSE THERE ARE LESS OPPORTUNITY GIVEN TO WOMEN. EVEN, THOUGH, WOMEN NOWADAYS THRIVE IN DIFFERENT FIELD I COULD STILL OBSERVE THOSE WHO ARE IN HIGHER POSITION EVEN IN MANY COMPANY AND GOVERNMENT WERE ALL WOMEN..SORRY FOR ALL CAPS I STRIKE THE SHIFT..

No one particular thing. I'd like to correct broad generalizations and absolutes. Such as ALL women/men do this, think this, feel this way, need this. Equally as annoying is when people think ALL women/men should be a certain way because of their gender.

yes this what the society dictates even though you like to act unique and thin different. they all judge both gender as similar so a plan to deviate a certain degree makes other people think that it is no longer normal society dictates who they think fit and if you deviate they think it is a sort of anomaly.

Men think it is okay to sleep around with other women. they are actually considered macho for doing so. If a woman does it, she is called all kinds of nasty names though. I think men should be just as a responsible as a woman is when it comes to that.

yes, that true women are being regarded as having a low life and loose personality if she did the same things with men. society have presume for a long time that women are subordinate and men could have all the things in this world with less restriction while women still have limited access. though, some women with high education and good principle keep elevating themselves to other position of high responsibility where even men get to respect them.

A person behavioral characters, regardless of male or female is not easy to correct. They might change for a while but they will revert to the same old habit. As they say zebras can never change it's stripes!

true if they get use to it and so some pretend to change but they would still go back to their true colors. maybe they would change for a certain person as everybody is given a second chance. though some go back to the old way no matter the persuasion they just could not be pressure to have a total make over.people do change and move on but some of their not so pretty attitude remain..

that women are always have changeable mind and they are emotional. i think those notion need to change as women now days know what they want in life and they no longer see as the weakest member in a society. women now days is very independent and have liberal ideas. being a mother they do not lost touch. while men i could only say little things about them and better men could answer them personally for us to know.

yes, that true society should treat both sexes as equal even though in terms of strength and body strength. men get to be the tough one but in terms of emotional and other intellectual skills. both men and women helps to complement each other by sharing there skills, talents and pinon on different subject. both also are the founder of past, present and future civilization.
