“Act like a woman, think like a man”- is there anything wrong with thinking like a woman

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man

I have heard this statement a couple of times and it only got me really thinking when a movie, book and song were released. Is there anything wrong with just being a woman? Why must women think like men when they have been given their own brains and were made woman?



From the very beginning when God created men he was happy but after some time and on observing the animals he decided to create woman and the story goes on. If men and women were meant to think alike what would have been the point of creating women in the first place. We were not meant to think like each other and this is what creates a balance in life and in our existence.



I feel this phenomenon of women being equated to men is actually putting women at a disadvantage and thus some end up losing on both ends as they do not enjoy just being a woman with all its ups and downs (PMS and all) and at the same time men will never see women as their equals no matter how hard you try thinking like them.



Why are women being made to think and feel that there is something wrong with just being woman? Have man ever been asked to act or think like woman? Why then should woman be expected to change their natural state and for who’s sake. It really bothers me that women are in a way being brainwashed into thinking they are not good enough in the way they think .Women are the gentle side of humanity (nurturing, patient, loving, enduring) and men the hard core side(protective, hasslers,  strong (physically).



What is so special about thinking like a man in any case? I have no problem with man being man but I have a problem with women being expected to think like men and until someone explains to me what the whole hype is and shows me which woman has gained from thinking like a man then maybe I can understand.



Women lets embrace our femininity, there aint nothing wrong with the way we are. There aint no need to ACT like a woman cause you are already a woman  or think like a man cause we were never meant to think like them. Lets just be WOMAN “Fearfully and wonderfully made” by God that’s all.
