PostHeaderIcon Google “Woman”

Today I wondered, what happens when I Google the words “woman” and “man”?

When I Googled Man I received Wikipedia’s definition of Man first on the list, next was something on metropolitan area networks, Mans Group: foremost industrial players in transport related engineering, Weedman, Spider Man and various other mainly industry/career related hits. No side bar with any links or related searches directing me to various other sites.

Then I Googled the word Woman. The first thing I see is pictures of women, supposedly fun and sexy including one with her legs up in the air lying on a bed (no explicit nudity). Wikipedia was up next, then a site to meet Russian women for mail order brides, farther down the list is businesses and organizations for women.

Interestingly, down the side bar is a whole lot of direction towards sites, especially if you want to meet “naughty woman”, “sexy Ukranian or Asian girls” and apparently “what every woman wants from her man, a thicker, harder”….well you get the picture. On the subsequent pages you will find more businesses, support, magazines and the like for women, but I couldn’t help but reflect on the initial difference .

I kept hitting “Next” when Googling Man and came up with nothing explicit or hyper sexualized and still no related search tags at the bottom. But, Woman kept on receiving its share of related search tags, girls, hot woman, playboy, woman worship, woman quotes etc. Type in girls and you will hit the mother load, no pictures of actual girls, but of woman in more of their “girls gone wild” poses.

It is one of those observations I just wanted to share. I’m not sure what it means, but I could not help but feel that the translation was, a little less reverence for “woman” than “man“.

Despite what I observed, I still like the word “Woman”. It is beautiful, especially when you repeat it a few times, try it…it seems powerful in its structure, spiritual in its nature and grounded in its truth. It is worth repeating and it is better to do a search from within, as the sites you will find there are far more impressive.
