47. and I guess the teen years is when you get obsessed with gender roles and interaction

between the sexes. sad to see so many regressive stereotypes trotted out by the young, especially one who identifies himself a liberal. sad to see he only responded to me, and only with a defensive posture. from the way he has completely ignored lots of interesting feedback and advice you'd get the impression he's actually not interested in understanding feminism or discussing it in an enlightened way.
