The book states that "men and women are polar opposites" (Echols, 119). I think that this statement is true in some ways and false in other ways. Women and men can be completely different as far as emotional and physical stability goes. Yet, they can be similar in the same ways. Women tend to be the more emotional ones, while men tend to be the more physical ones.
But, after reading the post written by Mark Frakes, I began to think a little differently about the "norm" with women and men. Mark said that it seems to be that people think that all men only want sex and that everything that they do is centered at that goal. I disagree with that statement because some men have different characteristics that make them different from other men. Some guys might be focusing mainly on sex while others are focusing mainly on emotional relationships.
Overall, I like the chapters that I have read so far
