A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman,"
she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you
never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no
reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he asked God. He said, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said:
" When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet
gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that
many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives
up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without
complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all
circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned
her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but
sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use
whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she
wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway
to her heart - the place where love resides."

In the Biblical account of creation it says that God created all creatures out of the dust of the ground except one. He created the woman from the rib of the man. Woman is the only creature on earth, according to the Bible that wasn’t created from dirt. Though it isn’t explicit, the Biblical account of creation implies how special, in all of creation, woman is.

So you all are saying that women are in fact SUPERIOR to men. And therefore all of this "equality" retoric is just crap.

First, you must be very young not to realize the interdependency of Man and Woman. One is no more superior than another than a left and right skate.
Second, I ask a personal favor to take antagonistic argument to a different thread. Not a different forum, just a different thread. Forum Garden certainly welcomes that view; you can even post it here. I simply ask it as a favor.
Third, if you were being sarcastic, I apologize for not seeing it.

That was very sweet LC, and I loved Clint's comments.
*out of context comment*
If woman was the only created being that wasn't made out of the dirt of the Earth, why do we have to clean it all day long?
I had always heard woman was created by God, out of the rib of man to be his helpmate throught his life. To walk not in front of him, nor behind him, but side by side.

Someone forwarded this to me. I think this thread was created for it.
One Flaw In Women
By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime..
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."
But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."
And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness,
love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends and relatives
to remind them just how amazing they are.

of course it is a sweet and touching story. But i can look at it with my heart and my mind, my mind says it is not true.
for I am a man and can have the same tears, for I can feel the same rejection, the same hurt, the same responbility to carry a weight upon my shoulder... the same..etc etc blah blah...
Woman and man are not that much different, it is the way how they grow up and what is expected from them which makes them the way they are. for a man it is possible to be very femini and vica versa...
But anyway, it brought a smile on my face, so thanks for sharing!
