Women let men fix the toilet. They let men open their doors.... to me this is a type of manipulation and taking advantage of us, not a case of arrested development.
But in many other cases, I agree. The truth is that "adulthood" vs "childhood" is a fallacy - most people remain more or less in the same mental capacity throughout their lives. (envy, can't contain their emotions, shallow thinking, unable to develop to the next level... etc)
There are some - what you would call "intelligent people" "- are about 5% of the population - you see them backpacking around the world at 18-20, completing their Masters by the age of 24, running companies by 30... writing books, being creative... having a wide range on interests.
The rest are.... idiots. I don't think it's a male / female thing. It's called "the human race"
And this "She expiates the guilt of life not through activity but through suffering, through the pains of childbirth, caring for the child and subjection to the man, to whom she should be a patient and cheering companion. Great suffering, joy, exertion, is not for her: her life should flow by more quietly, trivially, gently than the man's without being essentially happier or unhappier. "
And the rest is all bullshit. This is how females behave in OUR male dominated WESTERN society. In the east, for example, women are the ones that run businesses, that run the family household, that are more dominant... the men are drunk, fight, and do little or nothing to further themselves. If you ever traveled in China or Thailand you would know this first hand.
The question is - does this matter? Because we are talking about women in OUR society... so, this is a bigger discussion. The point is that each and every women is different, and that is why we should all game, date, fuck and enjoy the many of them as we can, so when that gem comes along - we can keep her (and hopefully she would be a bi sexual so we could enjoy threesomes with her but that's just my personal preference... never mind
