Every rule has an exception.
Women and men are only as different as we make them out to be.
Growing up, I was told a lot of things abomut the differences between men and women.
I was told that women can bear children. But my aunt never bore a child.
I was told that women work in the home. My pediatrician was a woman. My best friends' mothers worked in offices.
I was told that women are generally more nurturing. But I have come across women who were far from; men that were far more nurturing than myself.
I was told that women fall in love with men and men fall in love wth women. But then I met asexual, bisexual, and homosexual individuals.
I was told that women like to chit-chat. I have a couple of close guy friends that I call up when I need some solid "girl talk" because my female friends are not so inclined.
Over time, I have learned to ignore what I was taught and focus on the reality of the individual.
