Co...These are all excellent points and very true. <br /><br />Course as you know this is one of those areas where I freely admit to my gut instinct being in the wrong (it doesn't help my gut's chances of being right that I know little or no actual facts on the subject)....but the one bit I'm a bit curious about...you seem to imply that in your life you've found that the general opinion of "them" or the man or the reigning cultural paradigm etc is that men and women are the same. In the immortal words of Ms. Donna Moss herself, "This has not been my experience."<br /><br />I know in my life I've more frequently heard your "boys will be boys" and "math is harder for girls" (<--heard that one just today) type comments. All the cultural cliches on the subject that immediately spring to my mind are of the "where men have intellect women have soul" and "sugar and spice and everything nice / snakes snails puppy dog tails" "women are from venus" "men can't be nurturing" variety. <br /><br />About the only thing that both sides of ignorant old conventional wisdom seem to generally agree on is that the opposite sex of whoever is speaking is the somehow inferior one.<br /><br />---Anonymous?!?
