Who says women are the most difficult to understand in the world?

I have a close friend who is very quiet about her private life. One day, I saw her write on Facebook that she and her husband came home late from work that day. When they got home, they saw that her husband had not washed the dishes. They looked at each other and then her husband said, "Okay, you go take a shower, I'll wash it for you." After a while of giving in, she was the one to clean up, as usual. But she washed the dishes with such joy that she couldn't hide it, so much so that she had to tell everyone about it.

I often hear people say that women are the most complicated and difficult creatures in the world. For example, for men, a perfect wife only needs to be beautiful and quiet, but for women, to be a perfect husband you need to be a chef, engineer, businessman, psychologist, electrician, beautician, babysitter, model, etc. all at the same time. Men often misunderstand that it is difficult to make a woman happy or give her what she wants. But is it true that pleasing a girl is such a difficult problem? I think not, even the opposite.

“Weak” people are really simple-minded, you could say gullible, easily “bribed” by the smallest joys, sometimes just a word said and then left there. I think that’s because they are normally used to sacrifice, suffer, used to taking care of others without asking for anything in return, it’s a source of joy that only they understand. So when they are taken care of in seemingly everyday things, they see it as a special gift and are moved by it. My mother always uses old phones with few features, but we were bought new smartphones even before we started working. From a human-to-human perspective, my mother is indeed at a disadvantage, but in her mind, it’s normal. So when I used my first month’s salary to buy her a new phone, even though it was just a regular one, my mother was still happy as if it was the most luxurious gift and then “allowed” me. Or like my friend – who would still wash the dishes whether her husband proposed or not, that day she did a daily task with a different happy mood than usual. Seeing such simple joys that were so “unreasonable”, I could not believe that making a woman happy was as difficult as everyone thought. That’s why this beautiful half of humanity is so gullible and weak.

I often joke with my friends that I oppose gender equality. To me, women deserve more priority, more attention, and more benefits. I believe that even when placed in a higher position on the gender equality scale, they will still sacrifice themselves as an instinct. Even when they are suggested to relax and leave the housework to someone else, they still happily take it on. Therefore, women are not just beautiful, difficult flowers, they are trees full of life and easily stay green and resilient with just a little care.
