A Woman Loves: ROW80

Source

I read a lot of genres and enjoy different types of characters, although I admit I'm drawn to the female voice and its complexity. 

When I read a female character, I sometimes get agitated. Why did she make that decision? Why does she ignore every warning sign? But then I remember how complicated our minds work (having three daughters, I get reminded of this fact many times a day).

At the end of the day, I need to feel passionate about characters. Sometimes that means I want to wring their neck. Actually, I best remember the characters that challenge the way I think. Who make choices I wouldn't necessarily make. 

Women see life through a complicated lens. Consider the following lyrics:

A woman loves beyond her questions

And dreams beyond her doubts

Her heart will lead and she will follow

Even when there's no way out

Her eyes refuse to see the danger

As she walks right through the fire

A man may give himself to passion and desire 

But a woman loves

(from Steve Wariner's A Woman Loves)

What do you think of the lyrics above? Does it give women too much credit or not enough?
