Women without her man is nothing.
Author notes
Where do the commas go? This is sort of not my own creation, but I think they're evry wisdomical [real word?]

I've read this somewhere. It was like a writing task. We had to like fix it and make it different ways. Something like Women, without men, are nothing. Without women, me are nothing. Idk lol something like that. Keep up the great work.

Yeah, I think I heard it from someone who heard it at school

First off, it should be "woman with her man" or "women, without their man, are nothing"
but mostly-
DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT? geez, setting off my feminist button. A woman without a man is a WOMAN. Not a WO.
Geez.. -

Can I get a message straight here? Do not assume what it means! There are two meanings of this, you can not correct the grammar. It can be said as in 'Women, with her, man is nothing' meaning women are the basis of men's lives. You can also say 'Women with her man, is nothing' meaning women can not live without men. Stop correcting the way I can put it!!!

Sorry, I guess I don't speak Ebonics.
and if you think women really can't live without men, why don't you take a little flight over to Africa where girls of 15 and 16 help their single mothers take care of their AIDS orphaned kids. -
That's not the point! The point is that hard-headed sexists like you are destroying society! Geez, since when did we step back into the Bible days?! I can think for myself, I don't need a man to tell me how and what to think!

Tense problems?
It should be ''women without their men are nothing'
or
'a woman without her man is nothing' - though that would break rules.
Am I correct, or have I just misread the gammar? -
I personally disagree but I guess one could also Men without his woman is nothing, too. Good luck in the contest though!

It wouldn't work like that, though. The whole point of it is the way it is written, meaning it could go either way depending where you put the commas.

I like one that maybe just as true, but I'm a man who thinks highly of the opposite sex;
Behind every successful man, is a woman (this is not mine, just heard it alot of times and think it is true).
Yours is very nice too. Good luck in the contest!!!!!
