I have said before that men cannot understand women. And I got some pretty rude remarks about that.

So, in order that I may understand women, please explain to me what it is like to build an entire brand-new human being inside your body. To nourish, protect, nurture, and support that person for nine months, long, exhilarating, frightening, wonderful, comforting, terrifying, painful, clumsy, mind-fogging months. And then in the trauma of childbirth, meet this person and know that you will be bonded together for the rest of your days with a tie as strong as but different form any other love you will ever feel. Explain to me how that feels, not long-winded nothing words, but how it feels.

Then I might be able to understand women.

Until then, I will continue to admire, respect, like, love and dislike them. But I will not understand them.
