Women and Men

There are many texts that cover this area of issues. These texts focus on any and every aspect of life that is seen as belonging only to men. Today, girls must be involved in sports and video games too. The common side of this argument- the one that is publicly and openly supported, is that women must be brought into these worlds. It seems only fair to include them in something that we love to do. Because we love to do it. Why shouldn't women be included in our fun stuff? But privately, I think that most guys dislike the idea of having women participate in activities that we love. There are several reasons for this. The first reason is because most guys want to get away from girls every now and then. This isn't to say that they're homosexuals or anything, but in order to feel the male camaraderie that we all need, women can't be included. We need our "guy time" to grow and feel connected to those similar to us. Women do the same thing with "girl nights" and shopping trips. The difference between guy time and girl time is that girls ALWAYS want to be a part of guy time. Guys, however, feel no need to go shopping. Another reason why guys don't want to have girls involved in sports or video games is because they are afraid that a girl will beat them. This would be the most embarrassing thing in the world.
