hey lin, hehe. you do sound like you want to denounce your gender.
Anyway, women are said to be more mature because we take the time to think and analyze; guys don't - they don't find it necessary, unless it's a chart, assignment or something that will affect them in a big way. However, the things we analyze are not considered important in the male-dominated world.
Maybe our past contributes heavily to why we are concerned about "trivial" matters. Women used to stay at home and take care of children. When they have their free time they go out and gossip with friends. We talk about who did what, who went where, and who said what. So, we analyze the hidden truths behind all these things. What's important to us is these matters. We don't have other more important agendas.
Men got the oppurtunity to go out to work - business, economics, politics - they analyze these things. naturally they become more practical and square.
Not all women are problem makers. We all know that there will ALWAYS be a glass ceiling, but it shouldn't stop us from asking for sufficient. If you were in the lower tier of a third world country and you had to support yourself and your 3 children alone, wouldn't you want equal pay? Shouldn't we fight for justice?
Furthermore, women always want to help. It's just that men do not like to ask for help. So they see women who want to help, a problem or in the way of their first problem.
Question: how many men actually do stop the car to ask for directions?
To deny a women the right to question and analyze the way we do is asking us not to be women. God made us sensitive for a reason. He made us the way we are for a reason. We are insecure creatures. that's why our husbands are supposed to love us. Or maybe it just has to do with the fact that if our fathers do not give us the love that we need, we grow up to be insecure people. it is a fact actually. Women who do not receive love from their fathers tend to be insecure and they look for a male support/love eslewhere.
I don't think women mind being helpers, if we do mind, we wouldn't be cleaning houses (considering we don't have a servant) or cooking for our husbands. We just want to be appreciated for it because these MCP's think that it's part of a women's role, regardless to whether she's handling a full time job in an office.
Women handle problems differently from men. Sure, we could learn a few things from them but they could learn one or two things from us too! yeah sometimes we go bonkers and get become irrational but how can we be rational when whatever we say in defense to ourselves is considered irrational because we start to become defensive. The thing is guys need statistics, not generalizations. Not everything has statistics.
Women tend to follow our heart/instinct. But is it really? Or is it because men keep repeating that until we actually believe it? If we always follow our head, we'd never hear our baby son/daughter cry in the next room. They say women were moulded after God's own heart. God heart is sensitive too.
Maybe we should be more rational when handling a problem. I think that it will happen one day in the future. When we have better education oppurtunities and when we finally break the mould of our past.
Anyways, not to get into a fight with you or anything.. just we always have these sort of conversations.

I read your entry and I was like, "Yeah, woman!" I got into trouble with women before. Women can be monstrous, I'm telling you; especially when they are jealous! I've seen women doing all sorts of crazy things to warn other women from even talking to her man. I've seen women making big scenes to humiliate her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend! I've seen women belittling each other's intelligence to "show I am better". I've seen women back-biting each other over some really unimportant matter! I mean, come on, women! Get a grip! Why are they so good in seeing a sawdust in others'eyes but can't see this gigantic wooden plank in their own? Women, hmph!
