Jeeeeez woman, calm down, take a valium or something.  My God!

Let's take this a little at a time....

First, I am about as FAR from being male as humanly possible;
though not a bra burner, or FemiNazi, I am neither a fan waving delicate flower
subject to "attacks of the vapors".  Just simply a very kind, smart, attractive,
SECURE woman who is not threatened by other females or males, and constantly 
observes behaviour traits of each sex.

In my post I'm sure I just saw "FEMALES I'VE OBSERVED"...  Correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, since I am in no way omnipotent, this is obviously a minority of the female 
population.  

I DID say that men are JUST AS CAPABLE of these games, and never said women
are NOT realistic.  I have just been very fortunate that the men in my life have all
been very intelligent, open, honest (remember that is what most people refer to as
being blunt), and realistic.  Obviously you've not had the same luck, else you'd not 
have fired back with such vehemence...

I am the single mother of three, 2 sons and a daughter.  My children are taught 
equally, and when the media, or any other source tries to push sexual roles on 
my children I quietly teach them why, for example, men should help women at 
home, and why women should be helping the men with things women don't 
usually do because of stereotyping.  I can replace the waterpump on my vehicle as quickly as I can fire up a sewing 
machine...  

You've taken my post way too personally.

Watch the female sex around you.  Do it with an open mind.  If you don't see it
happening, you are very lucky.  Maybe because I'm in the South, I tend to 
see more?  

Please, that was no insult to southern women.  There's just more stereotyping 
down here.
