Why can't a man be like a woman?

[HurricaneKatrina]

Yes well it is about .0001% of one percent of women that want to be fascist or communist dictators or conquer the globe.

Is this a serious comment? How would you know?

Besides, I don't think we can clearly delineate which bad or evil character traits or actions are gendered, because neither gender developed in a vacuum. They both inform one another; if we don't have as many women tyrants or what have you, one argument to make as to why that is is that women haven't traditionally had the power base or ability to become such. Why would there be this fundamental psychological difference? You can see the same mean spiritedness and immorality in women that you do in men, what reason do any of us have not to take that as simply a human trait?

The comment wasnt entirely serious but I have yet to meet such women.

No , women in general are not as violent or bloodthirsty as men, not even close.

I think the argument could be made that from an evolutionary perspective, we wouldn't have survived the lithic ages without some differences. 'Women and children first' got us pretty far. Do these things have a place in our modern societies? Dunno.

Actually, women and children first got western civilization, well, wherever we are. It isn't universal. It's cultural.

How long? Your first marriage?

20 years, second marriage. First one was seven years. I don't regret them, but I'm not sorry I left either.

The thing is both men are more individuals then men, if you see what I mean.

You know what a good man and Santa Claus and Jesus have in common? They are all fictional characters.

No I've met some very good men. Then I have met some who really appear to be great people and then got to know them.

Tell about your first husband.
