Few people understand the rhythms of life more than women. Women live their whole lives by rhythm. They are in rhythm with life itself. Women are more able to "go with the flow" than men. Men want to push, pull, resist, direct the flow. Women experience it-then mold with it to produce harmony. A woman hears the melody of flowers in the wind. She feels the tugs and pulls and urges of life. She knows when it is time to run, and time to rest; time to laugh and time to cry; time to hold on and time to let go.

Part of the glorious rhythm of life is the yin and the yang. One Aspect of "Being" is not "more perfect" or "better" than another. Both aspects are simply-and wonderfully-that: aspects. Men, obviously, embody other reflections of Divinity, which women eye with equal envy. Yet it has been said that being a man is your testing ground, or your probation. When you have been a man long enough-when you have suffered enough through your own foolishness; when you have inflicted enough pain through the calamities of your own creation; when you have hurt others enough to stop your own behaviors-to replace aggression with reason, contempt with compassion, always-winning with no-one losing-then you may become a woman. When you have learned that might is not "right"; that strength is not power over, but power with; that absolute power demands of others absolutely nothing; when you understand these things, then you may deserve to wear a woman's body-for you will at last have understood her essence. - Neale Donald Walsch's

-"Conversations with God" Book 2.

“The being who, for most men, is the source of the most lively, and even, be it said, to the shame of philosophical delights, the most lasting joys; the being towards or for whom all their efforts tend for whom and by whom fortunes are made and lost; for whom, but especially by whom, artists and poets compose their most delicate jewels; from whom flow the most enervating pleasures and the most enriching sufferings / woman, in a word, is not, for the artist in general... only the female of the human species. She is rather a divinity, a star.”

- Charles Baudelaire

Some funny quotes:

“If male homosexuals are called "gay," then female homosexuals should be called "ecstatic";” - Shelly Roberts

"We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the front lines. They don't know if we can fight, if we can kill. I think we can. All the general has to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the enemy over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms." - Elayne Boosler

"Cosmetics is a boon to every woman, but a girl's best friend is still a nearsighted man. " Yoko Ono

"A woman can smell mink through six inches of lead. (Double Dynamite)" -Groucho Marx

"Every time a woman leaves off something she looks better, but every time a man leaves off something he looks worse. " - Will Rogers

"One should never trust a woman who tells her real age. If she tells that, she'll tell anything." - Oscar Wilde

"Women... can't live with 'em... can't shoot 'em..." Ivan Turgenev
"Guys are like dogs. They keep coming back. Ladies are like cats. Yell at a cat one time...they're gone. " - Lenny Bruce

"Men are generally more law-abiding than women. Women have the feeling that since they didn't make the rules, the rules have nothing to do with them.' -Diane Johnson

"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. " -Timothy Leary

"To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all." -Helen Rowland

Whatever the case may be, I didn't mean to offend. My mom's birthday is coming up and it made me very proud of feminine power.

I apologize for offending you or anyone.
