P.S. I'm going off-line for a while so I can't continue this discussion anyway, even though I still find it interesting. But on the subject of the differences between men and women, I'm a believer in reincarnation, so I consider that I've had both male and female lifetimes. And also lifetimes as a member of many different ethnic groups, "races", religions, and nationalities. I don't think any patterns are embedded in the consciousness of a person or a soul. But I think the biological imperitive of motherhood causes a different set of priorities in individuals who have that biological makeup. But I could be wrong. (Although I don't think I am ;-)

Ta for now, all.
