Is this really true or not?

In respond to some colleagues who said that women are independent of men and do not need men at all to walk forwards, never mind how far women can walk but in my opinion they will always need men to support them and here are some parts of articles which I picked for you:


"Sorry, but women are dependent on men


By DR NICK NEAVE


As an evolutionary psychologist, I study patterns of behaviour dating back to the first human societies, and constantly analyse evidence that demonstrates the key differences which have developed between the sexes since men were hunter-gatherers and women were child bearers.


Females are smaller and weaker than males so, in prehistoric times, women and their offspring were prone to being the victims of predators, and violence.


They needed the support and protection of men who didn't just have brute force but also had social status in the group, either through their sheer physicality or the strength of their personality.


That's why women still look for a mate of higher social standing."

Here is another article:


Twenty reasons women still need men


source:


http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article688036.ece


Look at this also:


"Do Women Need Men?



But, back to the subject of this column--do women need men? I assert an absolute YES. Just as men need women.  We compliment each other and, as is well known, men actually live longer married than single.  But, while there isn’t a counterpart for women, who usually outlive men and do better alone after a long marriage, I assert that in the formative, childbearing years, women need men as much as ever.  We learn from one another; we grow; we are challenged.  That makes both genders stronger. "

This is the ideal situation in our belief, no woman can be forced to marry some one she does not want and the same for the man, both man and woman are given the choice accoriding to our belief and if you want to know about marriage condition in Islam please visit

Here's my two cents, A woman needs a man as much as a man needs a woman, thats in a perfect world where they agree to live in harmony and so on...In other circumstances where they are forced to live alone (death/divorce/personal choice) they can adapt at living apart and be perfectly happy :) In my opinion

these opinions are all acceptable. why? because each and everyone of us has a choice whether we need to share our life with a man or a woman or stay single. that is why, we are given an opportunity to make choices, because whatever choice we make, is what really matters.

that he human being at a certain time has no choice and later the human being will have a choice.

Example

You do not have a choice to choose your father or mother before you are born

You have a choice in a certain job or no, or to go to one country or no.

A man should always try to be happy with what he is and does. Then he can "add" a beautiful woman to his "garden". If a man NEEDS a woman to be happy, he isn't mature at all and should be better avoided!

I have a couple of single great aunts (in their 90's now) who've never been married, live alone, etc and are quite happy about it, and ditto with a single great uncle.  It depends on the person.  Some people need other people, some people don't. The only time a woman truely needs a man (or at least his sperm) is to have a child.

Do you ever actually read any of your 'articles' before posting?

The article in The Times by Hugo Riffkin was a jokey, blokey article where he actually took the *iss out off blokes.

In the last article the author himself had this to say in conclusion:

 

The notion that women can procreate by other means and therefore truly don’t need a man is just selfish and foolish. Further, it irrevocably denies the children even the possibility of having a dad in their lives.  I’ve been a Big Brother on and off over the years, and the single moms in Big Brothers know darn well the value of a man in their sons’ lives. Sadly, they rarely match girls with the Big Brothers-- a fall-out from litigation, lawyers, and fear.  This is so tragic, as the girls without fathers need the male adult figure just as much as the boys do. Some gender facts are just not PC (politically correct) in spite of their historical and empirical truth.  This notion of our respective need for the opposite sex (I still dislike the PC use of “gender”) is just bunk and destructive.  Let’s recognize that men and women each have something quite valuable to bring to relationships, to children, to society, and to each other.  And, let’s acknowledge and celebrate those differences. I’m grateful that my wife is a woman and has female instincts and desires. It enriches our family and me. While I still would like to stay a slob, let my kids have messy rooms, occasionally allow a pile of dishes in the sink to accumulate, let my dogs sleep on the bed with me, and forgive similar sins of my boys, she keeps us in line. In turn, I bring some “fix-it” to her problems as well as practical get-it-done approaches to many things that I know benefit her.

I’m glad I’m a man; I’m glad she’s a woman. That’s the way God made us and that’s the way it should be.

Therefore - I think we all can conclude that both sexes need each other in some ways :-)

But from my opinion, there are some women who are weak who needs men even for a simple thing or task. There are some women also who are tough and hard to do some slight heavy work.

On the other hand, there are Men who are really strong in physical but  weak in perseverance. There are men also who are weak in physical fatigue (as they are not use to work labor works) but they can manage to find other ways to work it out.

Sorry Straight Arrow but, not only women who needs men. MEN REALLY needs women. Women Perseverance and women instict are some of the strong chracteristics that you need to survive in the jungle of life.
