Women have something so magical, it defies description, but I will try.

Woman = life

The earth is woman. The sea is woman. The sun is woman. The moon is woman.

Woman creates life. Woman sustains life.

Families are matriarchal. Woman is the core.

Woman is beauty. Woman is nature. Woman is nurture.

Women keep things running.

Women keep men grounded.

Women speak up when men are wrong.

Without women, men would be far less behaved.

Put simply - women are mothers and men are children.

Even if a woman has no children, she has the heart of a mother. She is a mother.

Woman stands for life.





A woman is capable of both the greatest good and the greatest evil.

She has the capacity for the most extreme kindness and the most extreme cruelty.

She can create and she can destroy.

She can heal with one look

Or kill with one look.

Please list more of what women have.


And let's please refrain from getting all PC about this. Men and women are different. Sorry to burst bubbles.

Good morning, Nero.

It's too early in the day to get into a fracas so I will tell you plainly that what you say is true on all counts.

Have you been listening to Billy Joel?  Is a woman always a woman but a good cigar is a smoke?

IMHO, any woman sharing her life with a man has at least one child:  the man in her life.

Family lines are matrilineal. 

We live on Mother Earth with Father Sky.  The Stars are out Grandfathers and we as women are close to Grandmother Moon, our example of being steady and predictable, among other things.

When a woman loves, she loves with a mother's love.

A man may build the house but a woman makes it a home.

Women are healers.  Folk medicine resides with women.  Ancient medicine, like a squirt of breast milk into a child's aching ear isn't exactly a man's cure.

Perhaps one of the basic genders is a first draft and the other is the polished composition.  I leave it to you to consider that.

Women don't start and prosecute wars.

Enough time on the soapbox for me.  Living two lives in the same lifetime, in both genders, this time female, that's a unique gift, Nero, and it's as much your gift as it is anyone else's, guy. 

Women and men are balance, each other's yin and yang.

And now I make my exit.

What women have:
Difficulty taking the initiative.
Difficulty being assertive.
A tendancy to be more intuitive.

Comments:
Here I am offering another perspective again.
Perhaps that is my lot in life. I do have a creative-type DiSC personality after all.

Both halfs of the species have limitations and tendancies.

As far as I can tell we need each other. Especially for a ballance.

Women tend to be more intuitive about peoples feelings and in general, however, this is also a double edge sword, as they often get so bogged down in emotions of themselves or others that they can loose the ability to act.

About half the time peoples feeling really do have to be disregarded when making a decision, and women tend to have trouble doing this.
That sort of decision making tends to be men's gift. Of course the opposite is true for them, and they tend to have trouble the other half of the time when feelings are very important.
Balancing one's personality to embrace both halves seems to be key in being able to be dynamic and make level headed decisions.
Take me for example: Most of the time at home, or school, or otherwise, I tend to be very girly, sensitive, and intuitive.
Here, I tend to draw away from that personality spectrum, as there are so many females here, that to get important points across, I just use plain bluntness. Tends to offend those when they are in their feminine spectrum but I also do not wish to spend hours typing sensitive gentleness when somthing important needs to be said. I tend to save that for less important topics like fashion. Politics, Medicine, Current Events, Activism, World Issues, I use a more direct approach as it guarantees that it will not be ignored.

What do women have?

Quite a bit.
Sensitivity, both Helpful and Hurtful (they tend to take things personaly)
Intuition, (only hurtful when they forget that men do not have this as much and get angry at them for not "getting the message"that they[men] are unable to pick up)
A higher center of gravity (makes some sports difficult, and others[such as flying] better)
A tendancy to take things personally when they are not(personal).
As well as a tendancy to let their feelings rule them to the point of being frozen or perpetually delayed by their emotions.
Of course feelings are important, which is somthing men tend to forget or not understand.

It's a mixed bag.

Both have gifts as well as unhelpful tendancies

Edit:
Oh yeah, I think guys tend to be slightly more arrogant.
LOL
I could be wrong...

I think it was Gloria Steinham that said:

"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle."

I agree.

A proper relationship is balanced, it doesn't have to be bi-gendered.

A woman is all those things mentioned above, I am discovering that I've been that way most of my life, but then again, I've always been a woman, I just couldn't show it.  But the thought that I need a man in my life to bring me balance is just alien to me.  Especially after some of the men I've known!

I don't want to hijack the thread or start a ruckus here, but I just wanted to put my feelings in here.

Actually I find the thread very beautiful, thanks Nero!

Women have the ability to control mens hearts and minds.......

Thats priceless.
