Article Reflection 1 - Can Men and Women Be Friends?
The writer says that it is possible to have male-female friendships in the article "Can Men and Women Be Friends?" despite all the challenges such as defining the relationship, overcoming attraction, establishing equality, the public eye, and the meeting place. I agree with the writer because I definitely know that women and men can be not only friends but also close friends. Firstly, I have many male friends, but what is more important than that is I have many male close friends. As a woman, I can say that they are much closer to me than many female friends of mine. I can talk, listen, or do anything I want. They can do the same things, as well. Female-female friendship is awesome, but male-female friendship is priceless. They are like brothers to me.
Secondly, it is not important what other people think about it. We are very close friends, and that is important. Some people can believe that it is not possible to be just friends, but we show them that it is. Thirdly, we do not have such problems like thinking of what we are, friends or lovers because we know each other. If there was an attraction between us, we would never call each other brother or sister, which highlights the invisible boundaries. Thinking that becoming friends with the opposite sex is impossible dates back to the old times, the times that women were just there to have kids and pick up after their husband. However, we do not live in those days now. Women joined the work life. They have their roles in the social life, which makes it a necessity to meet opposite sex.
