Woman

I have the obligation to write about them,because they are a huge part of my life,and I am so accustomed to being with them that I think I understand them very well.As you know,I am studying to be a teacher of English, a subject in which the vast majority of students are women,maybe because for their ability to language(that´s why they speak so much,ha-ha).Being a man in a territory which is usually owned by women could be seen as something difficult,but this is not my case.On the contrary,I feel that I´m treated well and there´s a special care for me,maybe because I´m the only man and they see me as a little brother.I´m very used to being with woman;I live with my mother,my sister,my niece and my brother,so they are the majority.As some friends told me,they think that I´m special,because I´m a “feminine” boy(without being gay,ha-ha)I think this is true in a way,maybe because I don´t like sports and I´m more concerned with topics that generally interest more to women than men.And there´s also the fact that I believe in frienship between men and women.I also have to say that I have a girlfriend,and I usually spend more time being with her than with my male friends.I think that I get on well with her because we have in common many things,we both like English,we study in the same institution and have the same people as friends and classmates.This great exposure to the women´s world gave me a different way of seeing things.It is true that men are more practical than women,and that women are more concerned with feelings and emotions.One thing that I really appreciate about women is the way they go through life.They are very honest with their feelings,and they will always do what they feel,no matter the cost and the consequences.This is very different from men,because we tend to think in a practical way and try to take advantage of any situation,in a way we are much colder and pay more attention to what our brain says instead of our heart.However,women are more honest with their feelings;when they have a feeling about something they just go ahead.In my opinion they are more impulsive than men.But I think that the greatest thing I learnt from them is their courage,their willingness to achieve something in spite of the hardships and difficulties;and they can do all these without losing their tenderness and charm.Woman tend to be more confident than men and this makes them stronger.I have to say that I really admire them,because they are part of my life and I love them so much,because of their strenght,their sweetness,their beauty and courage.Because they are our mothers,our sisters,our friends,our wifes,our girlfriends,our daughters.Even though they have to suffer the violence of our chauvinist world,they are always there,facing all the problems and struggling for finding their own place and their own voice.Thank you girls for all your wisdom.
