Men and Women

General Review of the Sex Situation
Dorothy Parker

Woman wants monogamy;
Man delights in novelty.
Love is woman's moon and sun;
Man has other forms of fun.
Woman lives but in her lord;
Count to ten, and man is bored.
With gist and sum of it,
What earthly good can come of it?

I agree with this poem to an extent. Only because there is no doubt in my mind that this occurs in the world but, in all reality men aren't all that way and neither are women. I have noticed that women value sex a lot more than men do. Many women find it to be a connection of love and if violated, it is disrespect to their bodies. I have also noticed  through hearing conversations and movies and history that men like sexual praise. Women tend to allow love to be their everything while men seem to be more self-centered and selfish. There are women that live their lives around their values and what they believe is important then there's some men that are the complete opposite. They would live their lives just to enjoy the time they have to spend here on earth. But this goes back to my belief that things aren't always what they seem to be. With meeting men that are always self-centered and enjoy doing other things that are important to them and not to their significant other of course anyone would believe in this poem 100%. And the same goes for women. If you only know women that believe in monogamy and living her life with love as her motivation and living her life for her values then again this poem would fit your beliefs just right. But not every man is like that and not every woman lives that way. People are different all over the world and since this poem describes qualities of men and women then you will be sure to find a woman with masculine qualities and a man with feminine qualities. It all depends on the perspective of that person and how they decide to live their life. This is a general review but it is also a judgmental review. One would have to have met every man and every woman to prove this to be 100% true.
