Dear Editor,
I’M writing this article to discuss why men and women argue. The book ‘Act like a lady Think like a man’ by author Steve Harvey suggests that women should keep their cookie in the cookie jar for a probationary period of 90, causing men to have to prove themselves, work and earn the benefits.

Instead of giving the cookie, I suggest we all follow traditions since this is not America. In his book he goes on to say, “A man and a woman views [sic] love differently.” I couldn’t agree more.
Women profess their love many times a day, while men see love as the three Ps- Protect, Profess and Provide.

Profess-He will tell everyone you’re his woman and introduce you. If you haven’t met his family and friends, then you’re not there to stay long.

Provide-The more a man can provide the more he feels like a man. If he can’t provide he does not feel like a man .Only a poor man runs away from their fatherly duties. Moving stuff and solving problems are ways of providing too.

Protect-If he loves you he’ll protect you. He would even fight for you if he has to.

The mindset of a man is indeed different. In the chapter, Sport fish vs Keeper, men divide women into two (2) categories:the disposable and the keeper. He will decide if you’re disposable or a keeper or how your personality traits are.

We all want to be a keeper. To be a keeper you will need to set the bar higher by being a high-quality woman i.e., you will need to have standards. Having strong culture and an education helps mark your identity of being someone.

Men are simple and they all think in similar ways. While women tend to think more with emotions.

The male and female brains are wired differently long before birth. The surge of hormones –testosterone for men, estrogen for women (although we each get some of both hormones) – that floods our developing foetal brains leads to marked differences in brain development and neural connections.

Yours sincerely,
Avi Persaud
