Woman & Men

This week we talked a lot about gender roles. I want to say first that everything that I say is the ramblings of my mind, it is by no means doctrine or the law. It is just how I think, sadly enough I have to say that because there are so many opinions in this world. Now back to the subject...

SEX : (as defined by dictionary.com)

1. Either the male or female division of species, especially as differentiated with reference to the reproductive functions.
2. The sum of the structural and functional differences by which the male and female are distinguished, or the phenomena or behavior dependent on these differences.
3. The instinct or attraction drawing one sex toward another, or its manifestation in life and conduct.

So as you can see many different things go into who we are and what makes us us. So how do you define a man? How do you define a woman? We did this in class using just looking through the world's view. Then we did this from the view of the church. It is amazing how far but how similar they are. So from my point of view these are the roles.

Woman Men

-Caregiver -Provider

-Mother -Presider

-Organizer -Caregiver

-Feeler -Supporter

Okay so that is a rough sketch, but try it yourself. I tried to just use verbs. I guess for me it is more of what I want to become. How I'd like for life to pan out when Nick and I finally have OUR lives together. I guess that is a little silly but it is true. Now how did I come to those conclusion. I believe it comes from watching those in my life and taking what has worked and what hasn't. So where do you sit on the line? Me personally as you can see am very traditional.
