Women vs. Men

Sometimes we have a lot of free time during our serving shifts and we of course have various conversations. This week four of us talked about the differences between males and females when it came to giving checks at the tables. We concluded that females split checks while males just take one check. So of course we asked, why do women do that? And we concluded it is because women do not want to feel like they owe anyone anything.

I began to think about my own life and whether this is true. Do I not want to owe anyone anything? I thought about my closest friendships and I did not see this applying. My best friend and I take turns paying for things; we have an understanding that the other will have our back if we need it.

It seems like women have a lack of trust for each other and I wonder why. Shouldn't we come together as a gender and support each other and have faith in each other? What happened to the trust? When did we stop supporting each other?

I am not saying this one instance speaks to all levels of trust, but I am slowly realizing that women are missing the trust. We are more of an individualistic community rather than a collectivist and I think we need to move more toward the collectivist side. We need to believe and have faith in each other and work towards bettering everyone and not just ourselves.

Just a thought on humanity and what's to come.
