I’ve never personally known a woman who would do exactly that, either; though some of them do take perverse pleasure in getting under another’s skin.

But when it comes to dealing with men, women have developed, over time, some very interesting ways of compensating for their physical, social and political powerlessness. Don’t blame us - the slowness of males to evolve has had not a little to do with it.

A fascinating book- (the reviews of which seem to have been strangely overtaken on Amazon; so here’s the Barnes and Noble link):

C’mon, now. Men and women evolve at the same rate. They have different societal roles, however. I often somewhat facetiously sum it up this way...men are pigs, and women made them that way. There is, of course, a corollary.

I think you may be wrong.

I think, in general, women in their constitutions are closer to spiritual verities than men are.

Don’t worry - it’s not because you are somehow ‘inferior’; it’s just because you were created to be fitted to the jobs that life on Earth requires of you -

As we were.

Of course, any of us can fail or do poorly in our respective ‘jobs’; and many of either sex do. But enough succeed well enough that the race human progresses.

And the average man always becomes more spiritually inclined, through association with good women.

(I don’t have a ‘flame suit’, so I’m going to bed, now :-)

I'm a flooring contractor (mostly new construction). Design showers, organize the jobs, hire installers, etc. I am on job sites every day...and I often carry bags of concrete or 50-60# boxes of product. Sometimes, I'm schlepping that product while walking on a narrow board that is suspended over an unfinished stoop...or up a makeshift plywood "ramp" into the house from the garage at some ridiculous angle.

I'm over 50 years old & weigh 120 pounds (can deadlift 170:). If I were younger, I would definitely consider installing...those guys/gals make a LOT of money if they do quality work.

LOL! Hubby and I were just discussing teaching her how to work our push mower this morning!! I think she’s still a bit too young to work the stick-steer :0)

Haha, I took HomeEc just to be the only Guy in the Class with all the Girls. I already knew how to Cook, Sew, Clean, Grocery Shop and all the other stuff. The next year I took Wood and Metal Shops.

MMMOOOOOooo...

I don’t know why you’d expect flames; I think we said the same thing, but differently.

It is,of necessity, a very adaptable paradigm.

Feminism has sought to reshape the explicit nature of gender roles, with no regard for those essential, implicit, underpinnings. Hence the rise of the Soy Boys. I think the recent clawback on abortion is also rooted in feminism and the aftermath of the sexual revolution.

I think surveys have shown that only 1/5 of Americans identify as ‘feminists’ or ‘feminist-thinking’. They achieve press far beyond their numbers.

Sure, and even fewer for the LGBTQ crowd. But when the arguement is couched in equal treatment language, it gains a big following. And we all get to live with the, for the sake of argument, well intended consequences, as well as any unintended consequences. And the left is only to happy to exploit any division that arises. ,

The way things go really always comes down to poor parenting and poor education.

Even a lot of people who don’t believe in ‘feminism’ or the LGBTQ stuff, are lazy - or ignorant - parents, who just aren’t paying proper attention.

You can’t blame the ‘leftists’ or ‘media’ for what you failed to do yourself.
