The Wrong Man

Women state that “they are always right”, and “All men act like children”, while men state that “Taking care of the household is a woman’s job.” I not only do I want to talk about stereotypes, but I also want to address how these stereotypes are wrong and how they destroy most relationships. MANY OF YOU might be in a relationship at the moment, so you…

been the man with the upper hand. The man is the one of takes care of business. “Its the man who is the leader of the family.” “A true man respects his wife and family, but he must get respect back.” An attribute that is stereotypical with men is respect. There’s a common thought that its normally the women in the family who stay home and take care of the kids, cook the meals, and clean the houses. The man is the one who is supposed to be out in the…

believe that his actions were not thought through. In other words thinking with the wrong head. I believe that he had good intentions but used them in the wrong way. He examines the girls is very provocatively way. His thoughts were very vivid, lustful towards the young women. He also makes very poor decisions while around the girls in such a short period of time.

LGBT sexual orientations and gender identities,” (IDPH.) Many would argue, “Children have no care in the world for questioning their gender and what people think about them,” but those people are very wrong, you see. Because most parents were brought up with certain values and in cultures where man and woman are the only acceptable type of relationship there ever should be and not like now, where same-sex marriage has become legal and the LGBTQ community is more widely accepted, they fail to…

entering into careers has caused problems in some ways, but the most prominent damage done, seems to be the damage done to the male ego.

For centuries, young boys have been told that in order to be a real “man” they must be the strongest, best looking, fastest, smartest, and dominant male when they reach maturity. They are also told that men should be the ones to initiate physical contact with women and if they do not like it or do not become aroused, their “manhood” plummets. Danube and colleagues’ scholarly journal says, “Manhood is earned by the continual performance of behaviors that demonstrate that one is powerful, tough,…

is every man’s dream? To be the perfect man in a woman’s eye. The problem with becoming the perfect man is that no man truly knows the qualities that makes the “ideal man.” Every guy has his own attributes, both good and bad; some guys are athletic, others are smart, and still others are funny. But the real question is what traits in guys are the “eye-catchers” in the eyes of teenage girls.
