A woman is an adult, female human. When people talk about women, they may be using the word in terms of sex, or in terms of gender roles, or both.

In terms of sex, somen have sexual characteristics that differentiates them from men. Some women are able to bear children, which is the subject of obstetrics. The subject of female reproduction and reproductive organs is called gynecology. Female skin is thinner than male skin and shows early signs of degradation which is not so easily hidden. Women reach the menopause at around 35,

In terms of gender, women differ from men by a wide variety of behaviours. In modern western society, more women than men wear cosmetics and clothing such as dresses, skirts, and high heels. Some women use these devices to manipulate men and get attention.

The general study of women at universities is pursued under the heading "women's studies," though, presently, that study is closely associated with feminism, sometimes even radical feminism. The study of the social and economic differences between the sexes is also closely related.

The gender roles of men and women in todays society is criticised by both the feminism movement and the masculism movement.

After the age of 30 they lose some of their sexual appeal. However, modern technology, including plastic surgery, has enabled women to hide their age for some time. As mothers they are often abusive, beating their children far more often than fathers do, and in much more cruel ways - the main source of domestic violence are mothers, a fact which is rarely mentioned. They often try to coerce a male into supporting them in their young age, and they are very skilled in this, as it is their main purpose in life. Women are generally selfish and unconsiderate, prone to hurt and causing more suicides among males than the overall murder rate and the war crime rate combined. However, law does not protect males from women's immorality any more in the western society, but instead penalizes men for failing to detect female tricks in time. Thus, males are doubly victimized, an unintended consequence of the excesses of Sexual revolution.
