medaille,
Actually, I don't feel that there is any lesser sex. Generally speaking though, I do find that I know more men who are better equipped at handling all forms of difficulties. Women just seem to crash and burn too easily. But then I also notice that there are a lot of guys who are weak when it comes to women. Especially in my country. This I don't mind though. What I do mind is the outcome of it all. I despise the fact that there are a lot of people out there who put themselves into situations they are not prepared and willing to handle. The consequences are too much for them and they lose whatever conviction they had when they got involved. It is sickening how common it is for people to regret their actions and blame others.
There is one other important realization I've recently come across. The one thing that people either respect or fear is solid conviction. Whether or not they agree with you doesn't really matter as long as you can explain it rationally. Reason being, people respect and fear those that know what they're doing. Those that are certain of their every action. Aware of the consequences and are ready to face them head on. Those that do not back down and flee when things start getting sticky. Those that can never be caught contradicting themselves. And even if they do, they admit it. They have nothing to hide. Which is so different from a lot of people. These people ask themselves, "How can one be so fearless? So forward? So sure of himself?". They know it is good, and they know they are incapable of becoming that. They are essentially afraid of breaking free from fear itself. Little do they realize that these beings devoid of fear and full of conviction are the untouchables. They are the ones that will never be caught with their backs against the wall. You can never break their will, because they'll probably break yours first.
Culture and society has unfortunately bred a community of fearful beings. Beings that hold so much importance in the opinions of others. Beings that are decidedly afraid of being ridiculed and rejected. Beings that expect instead of hope. Everyone should understand the difference between expecting and hoping.
