InOBu,

Although, in terms of voting patterns, if you believe the polling data, priorities do break down somewhat differently between the sexes. You sound like a very enlightened man to me. I'm sure there are many men like you in America. If the results of this last election are any indication, though, it looks like we need a few more like you.
