In this piece of literature Between the Sexes, a Great Divide by Anna Quindlen she expresses her idea of how men and women are simply alike. In reference to that she also uses situation in which boys and girls are at a dance and claims that, its not the difference but the dance thats important. This idea of the dance being important is a misconception being that the real reason behind all this is that the difference is what really attracts men and women, boys and girls; therefore I disagree with this argument.
Throughout life you might have heard that favorite saying “opposites attract” in which is proven to be true. Growing up we notice these differences between the sexes and start realizing how different we are. There are different aspects in which men are good in and other aspects in which women are good in. men need women as much as women need men to fill in that missing piece that their life is missing.
Growing up you might notice the different roles parents play in your everyday life. Dad usually fixes stuff if they get broken and is always off to work and mom is most likely cleaning or cooking. Men like many things in women, same goes for women, have that they dont have and they are attracted to them because of that.
Even thou men and women might find each other annoying at times none of them cant live without each other. Quindlens argument may be right to a certain aspect but when u look at the similaritys between men and women, there are very few aspects the make us similar. As people say about each other when the get irritated or annoyed by their spouse “Cant live with them, Cant live without them”.
