48. it's so funny that society has been shoving men and women
in certain roles throughout history. I wonder how many people know that during the Civil War, women went in drag and fought beside men in battle. That they were only caught when they were wounded and some were buried and their commanders never knew they were women. My daughter has a very analytical mind, and very militaristic (sergeant-could make a great drill sergeant)-very adept at math, sciences. My son, is very creative; painting, music (play guitar), and writes lyrics--he's the arbitrator, pacifist. Society has perceived male-female roles-yet, we are all different-for centuries, society has attempted to hammer square pegs into round holes. It doesn't work, we're all different, and those differences make us who we are; thus unique.
