i echo this sentiment, no way she hates you. Try going to see her on your own with no other family around, engage her in conversation about what your doing and she'll soon start to tell you lots of stories about your family you never knew before, loads of good gossip on aunts and uncles.

i go and see mine every week and she's great. feeds me like you wouldn't believe and still trys to get me to take my washing round for her to do.

I wondered how long it would take before women started spouting off a bunch of stupid false hateful sexist wildly inaccurate made-up stereotypes about men (in total seriousness) while the men continued to refrain from ever coming within a mile of that line. It's inevitable that all conversations on this kind of subject go that way, because of the hostility to men that pervades our culture and women's hateful sexist minds without any parallel attitude in the other direction.

It did, however, take longer than I expected in this case... and not even happen in the thread I expected it to happen in!

Man I'd hate to meet the women your talking about Delvo. Not all women are hostile, hateful and sexist towards men.
If anyone is truly interested in making an attempt at understanding the opposite gender, there is an interesting book called "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps" by Alan and Barbara Pease. It talks about the differences in the make up between males and females and while I don't agree with everything they say it is very insightful and often quite funny.

Lol, a very good similie (or whatever it's called) Personally, I find a semi-goth look can be very attractive, provided it's not overdone.

Excuse me? How exactly was I being sexist or derogatory? I stated my perception of the differences between men and women, and then I said it was my perception based on those around me. I did not make any sexist or man hating statements. Men and women are different chemically, genetically, and biologically. We think differently and behave differently and dress differently and shop differently. I celebrate those differences because I think one compliments the other. Don't read things that are not there. Thanks.

PS: You know, I have met some really immature women and some emotionally explosive crybaby men.

Neither sex is better than the other, but there are general characteristics between the sexes. Many households, for example, the wife still cooks and cleans. As a matter of fact, research shows that in households where both the husband and wife are in professional careers, the woman still does the majority of the household chores. This isn't because men are lazy, but because women have a general need to take care of people and things and, most women I know don't want a man to do the chores because men don't do them correctly as they were not taught by their mothers how to do it. That, again, since obviously I have to point this out, is not a SEXIST comment, but a comment of my perceptions in general of the people around me. Hopefully nobody has to have a hissy fit over that.

Thanks.

But whats pigeonhole? Or should I not ask...is there an adult video on that?

[HardScienceFan]

the remark don't ever pigeonhole people was meant in general,and not directed towards anybody in particular.
the somatic and psychological differences are there,of course,but these differences do NOT make for two mutually exclusive groups of people.
Most people are a mosaic of socalled 'Male' and 'Female' characteristics.

Of course, if they spent less time playing brain rotting video games, they might be able too, but good luck with that one.

A non-metaphorical "pidgeonhole" is one compartment of a shelf-like box that's divided into a bunch of small compartments. One face of the box, and thus one face of each of the little compartments, is open with no wall or door so things can be put in and taken out easily. Originally, the openings were square, and I guess used for pidgeons, but most modern ones are shorter and wider, for use on desks holding separate stacks of papers lying flat.

The metaphor means mentally separating other people into groups and treating each of them the same as everyone else you've assigned to his/her group.

None of us are trying to be "sexist", we're going by experience, which typically points to the usual stereotypes.. but we aren't stupid, no one's the same. And I hear more guys complaining about women then the other way around. idc. women don't typically have "hateful sexist minds".. once again ive heard more guys sterotype women than the other way around.. like the "women belong in the kitchen thing..."
What's funny is you are saying women all have hateful sexist minds... sounds stereotypical to me...
