I'm not exactly sure what sort of answer you are hoping for, however, my definition of a woman is in my signature...

for those who can't read the tiny siggy print:
One who is vibrant, gutsy, lives boldly, is true to herself, and embraces her power as a woman!

I am still trying to define a man, but hope that in teaching my son compassion and understanding, along with strength and resourcefulness, etc that i am raising a man (at least what I would like to see in a "real" man)

What's it mean to be a male? I can wee wee standing up and I can do it behind a tree...all at the same time.

I guess i wasnt all that specific when i asked these questions.

What Im looking for is the qualities it would take to be a real man or ladie.

For instance, women that are nothin but little sluts and hoes...they arent real woman in my opinion, because they seem to only be about their body and physical pleasure. But Someone who is respectful, smart, cares about herself enough to at least try to keep her head above the water...

You know, something to that extent, This is based totally on opinion.

Jenn, your answer was good. I dont even know why i have to do this stupid project... It seems like to broad of a question to me..but..school is school. Thanks for stoppin by.

I truly do appreciate it.

It’s just a suggestion but maybe using the bible according to 50Cent in referring to stereotypes in your schoolwork may not be the most judicious move.

50cent the rapper???? Im not sure what your talking about Phil... Could you please elaborate a bit?

sluts and ho's...
a"real" person (either gender) in my book is compassionate, has a sense of honor and duty, takes care of themselves and their families to the best of their abilities, has a good sense of humor and knows when to be serious and when to have fun, is charitable to those truly in need, is spiritual...has a moral compass, and has a fire in them to live each day as the blessing that life is.

my bad...pc was lagging and double-posted.

Ok, I'd say a real woman knows her strengths and works with them to get to the top, she works hard, ignores the people who criticise her and her morals, and she shows the world that sexist remarks are lies, that women are every bit as good as men, most with better morals.

A real man should be strong but not a show-off, be able to show their sensitive side without caring about their peers calling them names, they should care about women and their rights, their morals should be just, they should not care about appearance when it comes to love, they should work hard to provide for the ones they love, and they should accept that they have to do the housework too.

I know that's one helluva lot, but that's what I think.

A real woman is compassionate, loving, kind, honest, faithful, works hard at raising her children, loves her husband, and is respectful to others.
A real man is compassionate, loving, kind, honest, faithful, works hard to provide for his family, loves his wife, and is respectful to others.

Carrie has just ended the thread. She is correct and above all it is Biblical according to God. Judging by the divorce rates this is rarely practiced by either gender and is not taught to the children.

Uh...wow. Yea, Carrie pretty much sums sit up in 2 nice neat sentences. This is exactly what i was looking for ya'll, and i thank you that have already posted for helping me out.

Oh my ... Phil has them confuzzled ... once again. :oP

It was a joke people.

'K, moving on ...

If I may ... and I will anyways :oP ... I would modify Carries' post a tad.

Times change ... career aspirations (I don't see personal fulfillment as a bad thing), mortgage costs (two incomes can alleviate this) and so forth ... the societal or biblical roles need to be modified, if you will.

Keep the values ... the same. That I agree with.

Gemma summed it up quite nicely, I think. Save one aspect ... "that women are every bit as good as men, most with better morals." Gender does not factor into this, my humble opinion.

yes, women are as good as men...but i know some men as good as women. my hubby being one. he can be just as nurturing to the kids as i can. i can change the oil, give a tune up, switch out brakes...he can cook dinner, get the kids ready for bed and cuddle if one has a bad dream.

so i would say that a real person is one who is unafraid to tcb and is honest and faithful, humble, respectful, yet strong when needed...moral values are not gender biased...good people and bad people come from both genders.
