It was in the eighth-grade biology back in the 1950s when we learned the difference between male and female, plants, and animals. Every student understood the physical differences and how reproduction works. Any textbook, dictionary, or encyclopedia written before the year 2000 will have descriptions that clearly explain what a woman is. That was the easy part, unless you have been indoctrinated.
In Genesis 2, we learn that God created a man to rule over every plant and animal. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. God also formed Adam from the ground and breathed life into him. But for Adam, no suitable helper was found. So, the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
It is not by accident, there are physical differences between a man and a woman. Those differences were necessary and compatible to reproduce and perform the various tasks. However, there are more differences with the emotional aspects not tied to the physical body. This is an area where the so-called “experts” express their opinions more than present facts. I am a man, and I can provide my opinions about how I feel about many things. I believe that most other men would have similar reactions, leaving out politics and favorite sports teams.
I have opinions about how I think most women feel about many situations, but there is no way I can know how any woman feels in their mind. Only other women can understand those emotions; men can only see the external reactions. For 58 years, Eva and I were married, and without a doubt, she was the most important woman in my life. My mother made my life possible, but Eva was who I shared my life with. So, “what a woman is” to me is defined by what Eva was to me.
A woman who can give birth to a child. She was born with instincts to be a mother that a man can only emulate because we are not born that way. She is the person who listens to the spoken words and hears those not spoken. She can read your face and feel the joy and the pain not talked about. She brings comfort when you are feeling stressed. She makes you feel like you are the most important person when others disappoint you. She carries out essential tasks without seeking acknowledgment or gratitude. She is the person who motivates you to strive to do your best. She is your compass when the future is unclear. She is the counterbalance when the weight of the world tries to pull you down. She is what allows you to experience true love. She is the person you would give your life to protect.
