Okay wow. Honestly, we need to stop pitting ourselves against the sexes and trying to divide lines and form definitions. The truth is that we are ONE species, and gender roles are mere manifestations of social mores (in conjunction of course with basic fundamental sexual biological factors, sure). Ultimately, to "understand" a person, male or female, it's all about 1) taking an active interest in learning who they are. Ask genuine questions and listen earnestly to the responses. Engage in discussion. 2) Praise the person when deserved – excellent grades, job promotions, dressing nice, etc. That way, if you're honest with your praise, he/she will begin (slowly) emulating what you find attractive or praise-worthy, simply to feel good about themselves, impress you and find validation. There is nothing needy and wrong with this provided it's healthy and never over the top. 3) Understand that you need to do what it takes to make yourself happy while living here on Earth, and respect the same principle for your partner.

Like it or not, some of the stuff in this list IS TRUE. Any girl who denies it is just speaking through her ego. But, like all attempts to peg something down as black and white, this list falls short and generalizes way too much. Face it, women don't know men and men do not know women. We get by somehow. We're both smart and dumb in our own ways, neither is better or worse.

My decision on cat calls…

I don't find them attractive, they're annoying and obscene. However, if a guy happens to smile, wink, or in general look awed by my presence… I don't mind.

If my boy catcalls me, I don't mind.

if a random stranger feels the need to verbally express his lust for me… awkward.

I am a man and i must say that women on the whole are not nearly as funny as men. I mean, COME ON! Just name the funniest people in the world and not one woman will come to mind. I can think of maybe two women that geniunely make me laugh (Lisa Lampanelli and Chelea Handler). Girls think that they are funny but in reality their humor consists of giggly, immature shit. Sure, men have an immature sense of humor, however our immature humor consists of mature subject matter (farts, dicks, pussies, hairy asses). On the other hand, women seem to have this permanent giggly 5 year old princess mentality that just makes them sound stupid and whiny when their trying to be funny. But if a woman swears like a sailor like alot of funny guys it comes off as distasteful and becomes a turn off. I think that sarcasm is pretty much the only humorous thing about some women.

Just to prove that I'm not sexist, if you wanted to laugh at a movie would you go see the gross-out guy movie (Knocked Up) or some chick flick (whatever that movie about the pants is called)? I rest my case.

So. . . I know that this was probably written to entertain people and that most people don't believe all women to be exactly the same, but really? People need to stop stereotyping men and women in such negative ways.

Sure, I know really insecure, bitchy women, but I also know confident, loyal women. Just as I know guys who are macho, bed-hopping assholes AND guys who are honest, faithful and respectful.

And, lastly, I know TONS of funny women. (Anyone ever thought that men and women simply have a different sense of humor?) I don't know any woman who really likes getting cat-called or who seriously would rather have a one-nighter with some celebrity than sleep with her boyfriend.

And EVERYONE's thoughts are controlled by chemicals and hormones. . . Yes, even men.

Enjoying cat calls?

are you kidding me? there's a difference between a little bit of innocent flirting with a good looking, clean man but cat calling? I live in a place where cat calling is quite common, and it's really violating. Really, it makes me sick when gross old men, or just gross men. leer at me like i'm a piece of meat.

Star F&*%$#@, are you kidding me? I have no words. I feel like pulling my hair up, you're going to hear guys go on and on about 'oooh, i'd so do her' and 'ahh, she's so ugly', girls aren't that picky about looks actually, don't we all usually want a decent, funny, nice guy? UNBELIEVABLE! Guys are the one who put up the standard of NORMAL woment to those airbrushed, made up, starved to death celebs!

And woman are not funny/??

HAHAHA, when women are not funny, it's sad, when men are not funny, it's SADDEST! women can be just as funny, but we never really act on it as not to overshadow our wise cracking boyfriends.

The person who wrote this list needs to get a life. Seriously,

that thing about chicks wanting and willing to f*ck famous dudes? well as far as i know only the men around here have dedicated numerous blogs and complete search engines to famous celeb women and models which they will never have a chance with. so the yearning starf*ckers could very well be the men here."

AMEN to that. I've seen more shit about Kim Kardashians ASS than I stand, jesus.

And cat-call my ass and you'll see how much I like it, probably when I ask you when the last time you got laid was…

geez.

I know I really don't have to restate this – but I HATE being cat-called. HATE it. The only time its acceptable, is when its a friend, & theyre joking. Otherwise, its just skeevy.

oh and if men still don't take us seriously after so many years of fighting for equal rights, obviously there is something WE are doing wrong, telling them the same thing over and over and telling them they are a**holes and dicks because they don't understand us and blaming the fact that they don't respect us on the fact that they are men and they think they're better obviously isn't doing any good. Weoman have already convinced theirselves that they can be equal, now it's time to figure out how to convince the men that we are equal (maybe eliminating that superiority mind set is the first step)

Amber, from what I have seen these do apply to the majority of women. They are the things that make us different from men, and they are, yes, shown in a negative light by this article, but they are still in fact characteristics of most women. When are women going to wake up and realize "oh, maybe we're not perfect little princesses like our mommies told us, and maybe all men aren't dumb assholes" That mind set is why I hate feminism.

If we want to be treated as equals then why do we always try to make it seem as though we're better then men? That's why we haven't gotten very far and people still don't take women seriously.
