Secret,

I just have to disagree with you. We're on a messageboard so we're limited in communication but please don't assume that I'm speaking on behalf of all women. Please don't assume that Midnight is speaking on behalf of all women, either.

I don't think you're getting that we're not playing the "us vs them" game, we're playing the "this is my world, here's what it's like" game.

While Sex and the City isn't for all women, it's geared TOWARDS women, it's about women and their issues. I was merely pointing out that our society crafts and promotes gender differences and it's pretty naive to act ignorant of this fact when you're talking about gender relations.

Men will never fully understand what it's like to be a woman (physically, socially, emotionally) and vice versa. That's why we have to talk.

And I really don't think the participants in this thread are taking notes for the almighty bible to understanding the sexes. We're just opening lines for communication and throwing out ideas.

Tec asked the question and women responded. And then a couple women agreed and a couple guys took offense. Tell me again about how we're all the same.

Men and women are biologically different. Men and women are socialized differently. Ergo, differences. That's all I can say, take it or leave it.

EDIT: I'm not trying to attack you - I suppose I'm defending my right to be a woman (and different from a man) in all its contexts. PS I also love Metric so props. One of the last cds I ever bought.
EDIT2: HA HA, I also really love PEACHES. Pff you guys.
