God, Carol, I DON'T like bitchiness in women! Pull-lease! I do like it when they have a strong sense of identity.

Kat - Hey, come on, don't take me so danged seriously here. There was an element of humour in what I had to say. Women, like men, run the gamut...and anything you can say about them is liable to be true one time, and not the next. The ultimate "insecure woman" I guess, would be Kathy (in the comic strip). If a woman wants to know what pitfalls to avoid in life, she should just study that comic strip and conduct herself in the diametrically opposite fashion to the way Kathy does. (Is that Cathy with a "c" or Kathy with a "k"? Damn! Can't remember.)

I am presently with a woman who has a very good sense of self-worth, and at the same time is unconfident in certain other areas of life. Come to think of it, that sounds like a description of me...aside from the gender.

(Sigh!)
