“I don’t need a man.”  I can’t even remember how many times I’ve heard this quote in person.  How many times have I heard, “I don’t need a women”?  A couple times in country music songs.  Yeah, I occasionally listen to country music.  Where did things go so wrong that the semantics of the word need, is viewed by men and women so differently?  Lets take a look at the definition of the word need by Merriam Webster. You know that book we used to pull out in grade school. Need: something that is desirable, useful, a physiological or psychological requirement, a condition of requirement and so forth.  Now that we know what it means, lets go out into the cosmos and break apart this sensationalized pressure to be alone.  In the process lets discover for women why it’s ok to need a man, and men why it’s okay to need a woman.
