lol, moonchild - actually its not fair to say women don't point out those those shortcomings in each other; women don't suffer male pattern baldness, and lord knows they never have grey hair (unintentionally, that is)!

When my eldest son was in his early teens he remarked one day, "Thank God women don't have beards." When I asked why he said, "Because imagine all the time they'd spend coloring and winding and shaping ... and imagine all the silly styles they'd have!"

I had to laugh when imagined it. I could just picture some wild beard dooos!
