"I am an emotional creature, Things do not come to me as intellectual theories or hard-shaped ideas. . ." In this poem, I Am An Emotional Creature, Eve Ensler gives the thoughts of young women as they are passing from childhood into adult hood. From a mans perspective, women are very emotional in most aspects of life. When something goes wrong, right or in between it is easy to see what they are feeling. Many people assume that women just aren't very strong with their emotions. But when it comes down to the facts women truly are. Unlike men, women have a sort of "sixth sense" and can see and feel things men cant.
I love being a girl.
I can feel what you're feeling
as you're feeling it inside
the feeling
before.
Stemming from the true emotions and thoughts, women are able to connect with these strong emotions and feel what others are feeling. Reading this poem made me realize that this is true. Looking back into my life and my experiences with women, i could see that this does happen. In funerals, you see women crying a lot more often. In some cases it is because of the loss of the person but for the ones who didn't really know that person personally, they still have those emotions and shed tears because they feel the same pain as other around them. Looking even further into my experiences with women, I could notice times when they have the "sixth sense." Many people call this sixth sense the "motherly instincts" which only women can posses. When i was younger, my mother would be able to tell when i was feeling down or what i was doing without me ever saying anything. It was the motherly instincts that kept her able to know my well being before i could even get a chance to explain how i felt and what it was. These "senses" stem from the strong emotions of the women in which Eve speaks about int his poem.
