If men are told to put themselves in women’s shoes, should women be told to put themselves in men’s shoes?

[SolitarySolace]

Yes

No

[Agape93]

To an extent yes, but there are some things each gender will not understand or experience by virtue of not growing up as the other gender. Men will never know womens pain of periods or pregnancy scares or valid fears of rape, and women will never understand a lack of total support emotionally, the courts usually siding against them or the higher rates of suicide being seen as less important

Isn’t the initial expression “walk in another man’s moccasins” anyway? I don’t remember there being an expression specific to women.

[John_Cobretti]

Yeah I hate when women complain about how hard doing some house hold chores is? I'm like girl you ever tried working at an oil rig?

We all remember what happened to Norah Vincent when she tried to be a man right? I don't wanna criticize people who passed away

[FunkyMonkee]

I can't even find 16EEE in men's shoes!! How am I gonna find that in women's shoes?

I would love to be able to drop the women (primarily those Rabid Middle Class Feminists) who say that men should put themselves 'in women's shoes' into the shoes of men who maintain the infrastructure that supports society or those in the dangerous physical jobs that only employ men. I have feeling they would not last long.

[northerngal]

Absolutely. Empathy is important for everyone. You should always take a moment to try "walking in another persons shows"

[4ngelic]

yea. both genders should do try to empathize and understand each other

Not sure my feet would fit, much easier for the wife to wear my shoes.

[spartan55]

Lol... not like they would anyway.

[msc545]

Yes, of course women should.

[elaphe]

That sounds fair and reasonable.
