IDENTITY CRISIS: WO (MAN) or WO (MEN) WHATEVER....
Probably, all men in this world will agree, at least for few minutes...
“A Woman’s’ identity is through a man she has in her life or for that matter for her sole identity"
Why say so?? At the outset, am not being chauvinist… let’s have a small exercise, let’s look into the word WOMAN (or WOMEN also). Woman is a female gender of intelligent species “Homo sapiens” - the Human Beings. Now let’s try dissecting the word to unearth some meaning, so we get “WO+MAN”. When we look into each of these word; “WO” doesn’t have any meaning but on the other hand, surely and certainly the word “MAN” has meaning (Man is the Male gender of “Homo sapiens”). So doesn’t it show-up right on our face, WOMAN faces identity crisis with out her “MAN”.
Summing up; on linguistic view or approach, “WOMAN” has her identity if & only if a “MAN” is associated or when a “MAN” stands with her.
So, undoubtedly it’s always a “MAN” who makes a “WOMAN” complete and gives her an identity.
On lighter side, as she makes man go wooing on her, was she called “woooman”!! certain era's back?? (Just think it could or might have happened.. zara socho..) and then ending on a civilized note it was shortened to “Woman” !!
Disclaimer:
It’s a just a thought (rather a weird thought) purely on linguistic grounds, no offence to whom so ever. With due respects to all the female in my life who have played role of a mother, a sister, as a friend etc so on …..
