Women Being Normal?

"How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being." Oscar Wilde said that. However, the first time I heard this quote was from a woman. Then I began to see other women on networking sites with this same quote. After growing up with girls and a recovering serial relationship artist, I tend to believe there is some truth to this quote. What scares the crap out of me though is that woman certainly do believe it and love that quote. Perhaps the quote makes them feel that they are a sweet anomaly for us men. But do women actually think they are abnormal when it comes to relationships and the social constructs of love? I find woman, let's just say challengingly perfect. But we still love you girls - that actually makes us even more perfectly abnormal.
