10 things I know about women:

1. They are living proof that that which is flexible and yielding, like a willow, is stronger than that which is rigid and unbending, like an oak. (taoist teaching)

2. They are the outer reflection of a man's inner hidden female self. That's why men fall in love with them.

3. They hold up half the sky. (North American Indian teaching)

4. They are the heart of a nation.

5. They are the conscience of a nation.

6. They are the glue that holds a well-functioning society together.

7. They generally only go to war when it's absolutely necessary.

8. They do not tend to confuse courage with bravado.

9. They are the bearers of new life.

10. They are the daughters of God and of Life.


As such, they are sacred and ought to be treated accordingly. A fool recognizes none of the above.
