WOMEN! Amy Ouypron

Okay, this is random, so...
Last night I went to a party, which by the way is a slightly rare occasion on my part, but heck, you only live life once right? Anyways, I was just hanging out when this guy came up to me and we starting talking and he said "you know you guys run this party?" I didn't really understand what he meant, but he continued on... he explained that if there were no girls at the party, no party would exist. His rationale was that if there were no girls around, why would a bunch of random guys just get drunk and hang out all night?
Well it got me thinking... I mean that totally makes sense but if you delve just a little deeper into the issue it's almost like an epiphany--probably one that many people have come to think of, but I just finally realized!

Man needs woman. I mean, even if it was just a party with a bunch of guys sitting around drinking, I guarantee that at some point they'd be talking about women at some point in the night. It's just such an interesting thing to think about because if you look at history, there's basically a long past of women who were somewhat suppressed by male domination, with a few random queens and innately strong women running things-- Cleopatra, Kadisha, even the idea of Gaea and "Mother Earth." So as a woman, it makes me feel special on my part to think that if there were no woman in nature, what would be the point of man's existence. I mean what would come if Adam didn't have Eve or if Shiva was really only a man? We run this place because if man wants to exist in the future, it's a given that offspring are ideal.

My question is, when did women just let their powers slip? I mean I'm not really a feminist, I don't hate men, they're rather a fun and entertaining part of a well-rounded lifestyle. But look at the big picture: Women may not be so strong, they may be the "gatherers" of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, but why do so many women live as if they were worth nothing without the attention of men? Why do they give in so easily to abuse or oppression in certain cultures when if anything, they should be worshiped simply because they exist? Is it that women are born simply knowing in their hearts that confrontation is a waste of energy, or do they only long to find a man who can give them meaning in their lives? Anyways, I just think about these things sometimes. As a women, I speak and say that if anything is missing from various cultures, including that of America, it is the recognition of the importance and greatness of being a woman!
