Thread Name: In praise of women/In praise of men
Subject: RE: In praise of women/In praise of men
I agree, nice post Peter. I must however make a point about the posts that are being panned a bit here. I believe that there are traits that are predominantly male and some that are predominantly female and it's those that allow us to poke a little fun at each other AND oueselves. It's the simple fact that some of us DON'T have those stereotypical traits that "makes the world go 'round"! For example, we could take many of the "praises" of women and apply them to men and vice versa. Because some folks have taken to a discussion of these stereotypes doesn't mean necessarily that they are generalizing or pigeonholing anyone or group. It could be that they are taking the time to laugh a little at themselves and how sometimes they fall into those categories. There is a time and place for all of these posts. I think this was a good time for Peter's.
