“Both men and women are conceived as merely capable of response to a situation that their society has already defined for them as sexual, and so the Arapesh feel that it is necessary to chaperon betrothed couples who are too young... with their definition of sex as a response to an external situation rather than as spontaneous desire, both men and women are regarded as helpless in the face of seduction. Parents warn their sons even more than they warn their daughters against permitting themselves to get into situations in which someone can make love to them.” MenFeelsFacesYoungDesireSexParentSituationSonCoupleCapableDaughterMen And WomenResponseDefinitionsDefinedHelplessMaking LoveSpontaneousSeduction Author:Margaret Mead
“People abhor boxing, and I agree, but I admire men and women who can stand in a ring like that, nowhere to hide. I've only been to a couple of boxing matches, and they're different from any other event. I'm not there to see blood; I'm there for the heart of someone being able to get up and keep going. And for the respect that's often there in the end.” PeopleMenHeartDifferentEndsAbleBloodEventsCoupleMen And WomenAgreeRingsAdmireGet UpBoxingKeep GoingBoxing Matches Author:Markus Zusak
“Osho used me and Shunyo (my girlfriend at the time) as an example of how he envisioned men and women should relate. He shared a story he had often told in discourse of a man and woman who lived at opposite ends of a lake. They were deeply in love but only met by chance when sometimes out rowing on the water. He said it was beautiful how Shunyo and I met like this couple. When we had the feeling to be together, we would meet and enjoy. And when we were apart, we were also happy and content in our aloneness.” MenShouldSaidEndsSometimesStoriesFeelingsTogetherBeautifulUsedEnjoyWaterChanceExampleCoupleMetsMen And WomenOppositesRelateGirlfriendLakesDiscourseMy GirlfriendRowingHappy And ContentDeeply In Love Author:Swami Anand Milarepa
“The president [Barack Obama] asked for a commitment of, I think, 100,000 jobs for veterans and military spouses over the next couple of years. And we announced during the tour last week that we have gotten more than 60,000 jobs, and we're well on our way to just crashing that goal out of the water, because what businesses are understanding is that these men and women are some of the most highly trained resources that we have in this country.” ThinkingMenWayYearsWellsCountryJobsLastsNextUnderstandingGoalPresidentWaterWeekMilitaryCoupleMen And WomenCommitmentResourcesBarackSpouseVeteranPresident Barack ObamaMilitary Spouse Author:Michelle Obama

“I think there are so many unmaiden roles for women. I've been lucky enough to play girls with lots of different attitudes about sex. There's a couple other movies at Sundance that also show sex in a different way. That's exciting. I actually don't think women are being pigeonholed right now, and I like that. It's showing that men and women - when it comes down to it, we're animals, aren't we? I know how my next-door neighbors feel about it, and I hope they're enjoying it.” ThinkingMenDifferentEnoughGirlEnjoyAnimalAttitudeCoupleLuckyMen And WomenExcitingNeighbor Author:Juno Temple
“Every batch of sperm represents an opportunity for genetic typos - called de novo mutations - to be passed on. A 20-year-old man and woman will each pass on about 20 de novo mutations to a baby they conceive. By the time the couple is 40, a woman's total has remained at 20, while a man's has jumped to 65 - and it keeps climbing from there.” MenYearsOpportunityBabyCoupleMen And WomenOld ManClimbingMutationTyposGenetic Mutation Author:Jeffrey Kluger
“In the weeks that followed, we amazed ourselves. Our habits slid apart easily...And our very few intimacies were simply discontinued. Where did they go, those things we did? Were they recycled?

“The way we think may be completely different, but you and I are an ancient, archetypal couple, the original man and woman. We are the model for Adam and Eve.
