325.0. "Why I love women" by WMOIS::MACMILLAN () Fri Aug 24 1990 13:52

	Why I love women......

	In my life they were always the owners of the greatest compassion.

	They would even teach it to my heart if I were but willing.

	I learned to love my self from my mothers loving me.

	My few intimate woman friends furthered my education on loving
	myself simply because a part of them loved me.

	And oh the things my wife has taught me about love in so many of
	the forms it can splendidly take..

	I learned to love my children because my wife showed me how.

	I learned the highest level of friendship from a woman (thanks Betty).

	My daughters teach me now the great pleasures of receiving their love.

	Imagine I actually 'shine' in the eyes of two very fine young ladies.

	No greater treasure my friends.

	Why do you love women?

    For our honesty.
    
    For our endurance.
    
    For "driving" the equality of women and men.
    
    For the raunchy sense of humor that some of us have.

325.2I love women...LEZAH::BOBBITTwater, wind, and stoneFri Aug 24 1990 14:3317
    For the tremendous ability to connect and to share and to give of
    ourselves for the good of the people and ideals we love.
    
    For the intuition that I am just now beginning to listen to.
    
    For the roots we are now putting down, which intermingle between us and
    ground us to one another.
    
    For the strength we never knew we had.
    
    For our creativity.
    
    For our mentoring and for our learning from one another
    
    For our hugs....

325.4Human synergyWMOIS::MACMILLANMon Aug 27 1990 09:139
	There seem to be a few opportunities within human experience for
synergy. These are incredible to me. Simply by coupling with other human 
beings in some endeavor....a greater than the sum of the parts becomes
possible. I've found man and woman such an opportunity. Almost as amazing
as man, woman and child.

Another reason.

325.8I'd really like to know....WRKSYS::STHILAIREI don't see how I could refuseMon Aug 27 1990 16:117
    re .6, Eric, I would really be interested in knowing what you love
    about women.  I guess I'd really be interested to know if there is
    *anything* you love about women.  (And, yes, there happen to be a lot
    of things I love about men.)

325.9curious...in a positive way.WMOIS::MACMILLANMon Aug 27 1990 16:2116
	I'm hoping that this will remain positive.

	I'm curious if more can be said about loving women than
	hating men.

	I'm also interested in how difficult it is for some to articulate
	positive things about women.

	If it is difficult to be positive about women in general than
	maybe some of the women noting in this file are right about
	what they say concerning some negative cultural tendencies
	impacting women.

	I'm just curious.

325.11DPDMAI::DAWSONTHAT MAKES SENSE.....NONSENSE!Mon Aug 27 1990 19:4015
    
                I wasn't going to reply to this note because of the intense
    difficulty of defining *how* I feel.  In other words...its hard to
    verbalize.  
    
                The women I have met seem to *be* better friends than the
    men I know.  Its NOT sexual but cultural.  Seems to me, women in our
    society are able, on the whole, to see a situation and put it into 
    perspective.  I think women and men compliment each other in ways hard
    to define.  
    
    
     NUTS!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY....but I do.
