Men Are From Mars And Women From Venus Analysis

1693 Words7 Pages

Remember the book “Men Are From Mars and Women From Venus,” authored by John Gray, Ph.D. in 1992. It was said to have been on the bestsellers list for a 121 weeks, and sold 52 million copies. The examples it gave was phenomenally enriching, and very much on point; given the facts that shows how opposite we men, women, boys, and girls really are. And then again, are we really as different as some believe? For instance, in his book he points out “how men and women giving and receiving love is different from the other.” I can’t say that I agree or disagree fully about everything he or some of the things he stated, but I must say there’s a lot of validity he poses to a listening ear.

There’s nothing we don’t want them to know about; and everything about him do we want to know and share. To us, this is the makings of becoming one. Right down to knowing our darkest, and deepest secrets will we tell. For most women, it brings about more intimacy and makes our love for each other stronger, or so they/we think. Forbid, that our feelings get hurt and they become angry with us and there’s no speaking to each other. Our world falls apart, whereas, men (most of them) will go about their day as though nothing happened; finding ways to entertain themselves, while we find a corner to sulk …show more content…

Which all it did was improve things constructively and enabled him to be free to be who God intended him to be. One more thing I’d like to add is, “All men aren’t heartless cold blood beast.” The gentle side means none of the things we’ve convinced ourselves it is; if and when a man shows a warmer side. It’s his warmer side and better side is all that it is. This I’m sure has a lot to do with us women not getting the kinds of responses we want or the attention we demand for ourselves. This thing Noel found out to be the case for most men, could very well have a lot to do with their insecurities and the reason they don’t let go of all their feelings and become more gentle as we women would like them to

    What I’m arguing in Paragraph 2 is that Men are so afraid to be isolated from their group that they don't express themselves. Throughout the stories of “Guyland” you notice that a lot of guys do stupid things to fit into a group. Like in initiation, these guys would do outrageous stuff just to be able to have a group of “brothers” who will support them after college. Also these guys tend to drink large amounts of hard liquor so that they can fit in with their peers. In the passage “Bro Before hos”

  • Men Aren T Finished Summary

    235 Words  | 1 Pages

    In her recent online article, “Oh, Come On, Men Aren’t Finished,” Cristina Sommers explains that no matter how many times women say that they don’t need men, we actually do, to not only survive but also to thrive. Although in some fields of study women primarily dominate such as in psychology, biology, and veterinary medicine; men still call the shots in many more fields of study, such as computer science, math, and technology. The point the author is trying to get across is that despite the fact that, “we’re living in a society that’s enamored with the “WAW” or “Women are Wonderful” phenomenon,” that men are not going to be obliterated because neither gender would let that happen. Even though well-educated men are not in danger, Sommers

While Judith Butler’s excerpt from “Undoing Gender” is about the existence of gender normalities effects on how people are viewed in society. These two essays are very similar because of the similar presentations of ideas and the similar ideas of the two women. I chose to compare these two because of the similarity in their topics and how they presented them. Such as the ideas of gender differences, their research is based on analysis of different situations , and the effect the idea of gender norms have on society and they way we view others.

Similarly, men are becoming stay at home dads, participating in household activities like cooking, and also proving themselves to me more than just their gender.

    Furthermore, the feministic and male rhetoric parallel the theory of “nature versus nurture” concept. The male version is the nature side, which is harsh and cruel. The feministic approach is the nurture side, which is respectful and caring. These apply to all situations in life where there is the opportunity to present a genuine and benevolent response, or a blunt and crude response. Gearhart states that communication should be viewed as a “woman-like process” (200).

    In Chapter 13, Stoker also describes the emotional side of relationships between men, “In such cases men do not need much expression. A grip of the hand, the tightening of an arm over the shoulder, a sob in unison, are expressions of sympathy dear to a man's heart” (Stoker, Chap. 13). According to Stoker, men do not express their sympathy through words, but through their actions or a hard slap on the back. The only time a man is allowed to break down is in the presence of a woman, “I suppose there is something in woman's nature that makes a man free to break down before her and express his feelings on the tender or emotional side without feeling it derogatory to his manhood” (Stoker, Chap. 17). Throughout the novel, Stoker continuously reinforces and instills the
