What do you think?

Are women becoming more like Men and are Men becoming more like Women? And why?

I would say yes.

A lot of Men are becoming more emotional and want relationships, they are becoming more fashionably conscience and are taking care about themselves more.

I think regarding Women, a lot (not all) have no self respect in the way they dress, act and speak (curse) They are some what becoming unlady like.

What are your opinions?

On a surface level, yes I guess you could say they're becoming more similar but I think this is simply because it's become more acceptable for men to do/feel things that were traditionally thought to be womanly, and vice versa.

I'm reminded of the lines in The Cement Garden:

"Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots because it's okay to be a boy, for girls it's like promotion."

It goes on, but that's another discussion.

Over the years I've come to view the two genders not as the same species but two different species who live symbiotically. The worst thing (for me) was that feminism was misinterpreted by so many (men and women) as "women wanting to be like men" rather than "women wanting social and political equality with men". The sooner some people calm down and accept and enjoy the differences between the sexes, the better.

Because if a group does it, it becomes "ok".
Deep down, for all the bull$hit spouted about individualism, can't help feeling the main reason anyone does anything is social convention.
So any new thing under the sun- individualism, men acting like women, women acting like men- all basically just social trends IMO.

Also from my observations man became more like woman because boys are usually bringing up by their mothers from the following reasons:
Espesially nowdays daddies always work long hours, tired after work,-no energy to spend more time with the son.
A lot of man does not know how to bring up a son as their father did not spend time with them, so man does not feel confident:( with a son, loosing interest and connection,-can start to avoid even:mad:.

Woman becaming more stronger as she see that most of man are week and they can't rely on them anymore.:P

This is my additional opinion to the above.(sorry for my english):)

I honestly don't see why anyone makes a big fuss anyway, it's complete bullsh*t. Let men shave, wax whatever. Let women have short hair and wear jeans.

Ultimately the sexes are just there for procreation. Other than that, who honestly gives a f***?

The ideas of gender roles and appearance are throw backs to the the two world wars in the previous century. Gender appearance was a lot more fluid for thousands of years previous there fore what we are seeing is the true normative range of gender expression asserting it's self.

I don't think this is new, children have traditionally been brought up by the mother and in most cases the kids were normally in bed by the time dad got home from work.

In fact, if anything this mixing of gender roles has led to more stay-at-home fathers.

As woman by nature made to be more emotional than man and son spend most of the time with his mother , he can adopt his mother pattern of behaviour.
I am not saying that it is completely because of that,but i am sure that it adding to a common problem .
