If you have ever interacted with a member of the opposite sex, you're well aware that sometimes men and women just think and act very differently. Whether there are biological or cultural explanations, our differences never stop to simultaneously confuse and fascinate us all.
So it's no surprise that a new book would attempt to show and possibly explain the varying roles, relationships and stereotypes of men and women. In her new book "Man meets Woman," Berlin-based graphic artist Yang Liu depicts what it's like to be a man and a woman in today's world through bold pictograms whose simplicity speaks volumes.
The power of this book is in its simplicity. There's no text except for a short headline for each image. However, the graphics, for the most part, stand on their own to provoke humor and feelings of indignation, while all-around just reminding us of the depressing reality that life is different for men and women. We'll have to wait and see whether this book does anything to change that.
