It has been my observation thus far in life that very few females are of what I, and it would seem many other as well, would consider being of respectable character and intelligence. Other members have noted their inability to conjure up an example of a woman who they felt has stood alone in life and made herself one worthy of great respect and admiration in whatever capacity.
I do not wish to infer that no woman I've met has been a sloth in life or otherwise irresponsible, however when I consider the great philosophers and intellectuals of my personal life thus far I have noted that none of them are female. I myself am respected by many people I share myself with and find myself in a constant position of council to the my world of woman. Some are certainly of great talent; Singer, Painters, Writers, Journalists and the like. People whose skills are considerable in their select or natural fields, but none who I would consider virtuous in the same right as the select people who I consider to be of the greater virtues such as intelligence, wisdom, compassion, and tranquility. I've found only the fellow men in my life to be such wondrous individuals.
I have considered this many times and always it seems to be the case where women are lacking in this realm, that of the most respectable people. I certainly hold no prejudice against woman, sexism is as illogical and horrid as the existence of a Christian ***, but I have been forced to reach the following conclusion concerning the matter.
It is no secret that we are subject to differing social forces based on our ***. The expectations concerning such things a courting are different for men and women, and it would seem that the expectations which shape our characters as human beings differ substantially enough as to result in a noticeable difference in these 2 sides of the human coin.
I'm afraid I cannot speak as well on the pressures woman face as I can on the pressures that A man faces, but having been raised by a single mother and in response to numerous conversations with good friends and partners I have a vague understanding of what is expected of women. I might resent to you some pressures which your standard male must face such as the assumption of responsibility concerning affaires such as the family well being, initial contact when courting, support, and the general expectations that go along with the traditionally more competitive 'man's world' where one must be of high caliber in order to meet the expectations of greatness which are place upon those of us with a *****. The demands upon woman, though I argue not the harshness of these expectations, are not so great when it comes to being a great individual.
I myself argue this in my own mind, and I've valid arguments to the contrary, but I out this you to wrap your minds around. Let us try and avoid turning this into a ******* contest between the male and female members.
Note: There are certainly exceptions to this when it comes to those of celebrity but I refer more to those who we encounter in day to day life.
