Well, I agree that men are regulate by hormones when they're "that
way," but women are subject to a much wider range of hormone-driven
emotions and moods.  At least men are predictable.

Jeni and other gals who believe so strongly in woman's liberation,
let's work on this question:  Do you EVER wear short dresses, wear
makeup, wear tight shorts or tight blouses or spend a lot of time on
your hair?  Women, in general, WANT to operate in both the world of
the man AND in the world of the woman- but to do it selectively as it
suits them.

I've seen it so many times that it is not even amusing anymore.  Women
would tell me about how they wanted to be "treated as peers or
equals." then would wait for a man to open the door for them or to
help them into or out of an automobile.  They would resort to flirting
with single men in the office that THEY chose to flirt with, but would
come complaining if a man made a pass at them.  Some of the biggest
whiners about wanting to be treated like men would then come to work
wearing some frilly dress the next day that would make Martha Stewart
ashamed.

I've seen female supervisors wear clothing that would be inappropriate
on anyone but a hooker, then have them complain to me about one of
their subordinates if/when he even commented on the shortness of the
skirt, tightness of the pants or what could be seen over/under or
through the blouse.

How can a man respect someone as a peer if she is wearing 2# of eye
shadow, bright red lipstick and has half of her breasts exposed at
work?

There's the old adage about 'roles and goals.'    "In order to achieve
the goal, you must play the role."  Women should remember this when
seeking equality with men in the workplace.  Likewise, a fair-minded
wife cannot reasonably expect to play one role (that of an ego-centric
woman who won't accept her husband's surname) and expect him to act as
the traditional husband.
