Hmmm . . . my knee-jerk reaction is to say "What the fuck? I let guys hold the door for me and I don't hate men at all. They're great with a little nudity and metal music." 
I'm just kidding, but I do get the urge to say "We're not all the way you see us, myself included." I wasn't around for the feminist movement (which I know endures), my mother was a stay at home mom and I have come to love and respect many men in this lifetime." However, I know that such simple words would never change a person's opinion when it has been being formed for many years. I would never attempt to undertake the task of changing your mind because it seems you are happy in your position.
I expect that you will distrust and dislike me as much as any "real" women. However, I do hope that you can realize that I'm not a man-hating bitch and converse with me as you would a man as much as you can for the purposes of this forum. For the record, if I was at a funeral and I saw a man grieving, my first instinct would be to hug him. My second would be to send over a shitload of meals in tupperware containers after the funeral. I do suffer under the feminine illusion that food is the best way to comfort someone.
Personally, the most other women that I have worked with at one time is one and she was my best friend. I was in a mostly male business before I started writing. Nonetheless, I can picture that very scenario. Perhaps that is why I don't work with women. I do have girl friends, though.
