In the article titled Romance :Sweet Love by bell hooks, It brought up a discussion that I have been thinking about myself for quite some time. The notion that women are the ones that are always conjering up and thinking about romance. But to me, men are the sole barriars of romance. Men are the ones that are always thinking about sex and usually the ones to make the first move on a women. And I know quite a few men who are always thinking of ways to be romantic with or towards thier significant other. Now women may be MORE romantic most of the time, as far as ideas and what is most romantic. But men think about it just as mucha s women do. So I’m a bit confused as to why romantic ways have to be a femanine thing. As with love or anything else that is related to the subject. And I would like to make the comment as well, as to say that when bell hooks stated that if men would socialize themselves to desire love as much as they do sex, then we would see a cultural revolution. That it was a very true accusation in my eyes and love would be a lot easier to find.
