There has been studies over centuries on how to live up to be an "ideal woman". Was there even a study on how to become one? Has it been proven that there was once an "ideal woman" in history? Women live accordingly to what society dictates them to be. As for men, it would always be a masculine figure, an egomania attitude that separates men from women. People neglect to realize how a woman can be flexible in character depending to whom they're with. Its all about adaptation of becoming an "ideal woman". Whats wrong with this argument is not the fact that women are versatile enough to be different, but to adapt themselves to different men's concept of a woman. Women tends to adjust to be what a man wants or expects them to be. Not because of the mutual feeling at hand, but the idea of living up to what seems to be a concept of an "ideal woman" correspondingly to her man. It may be her partner, her father, her best friend, or even a man she looks up to. You would see for example a "Virgin-Mary-type-of-a-woman", where she is well-bred, unduly sensitive to matters of decorum and rather lacking strength, that are presently in the countryside or a conservative place. We have the "independent-type-of-woman" where they are usually seen in big cities, because it is what men's concept of a woman to be like. The "noble-housewives-type-of-women" who takes care of the kids, finishing chores, and pleasing their husbands. Name it, society has it.Why do we have these? because its what men around them wants and expects them to be.
Others may say that this is not entirely true, but take a flashback from your childhood, or a recent incident in your life. There would always be a cause of what type of woman you are today, and there would ever so often be linked to a man, and his presumption of what a woman should be like.
But women are not fools to be a puppet of men's theories of women, choices are given. Logic is present, but the tragedy of logic of emotions it is. Driven by impulse, by sentiment, by instinct, or even by yearning. This we cannot deny, I am not saying that this is alone the truth. Logic of reason is still present, but is rarely apparent. The notion of what a woman should be is somewhat like a prototype, to rather guide her to the present environment she lives in, to be an "ideal woman"
