Reply #129: This type of things is helpful to me

[90-percent]

I'm prone to clumsy social gaffes. And I've got a perverse outlook on everything. I had lessons early in life and a good public education that has helped.

So, I like to have enough knowledge to realize when I'm doing something offensive.

I consider myself fortunate that I grew up around some pretty happy and accomplished women. I never saw a lot of male vs. female hierarchy stuff. it seemed pretty democratic and the women didn't seem viciously repressed.

also, since i was young i like the company of women better than men - maybe 60-40 or something. i don't like the alpha male dominant bully personality in so many males. However, I think the younger people may be much better in the male female thing - it seems more fair these days. kids don't have as much meanness as what i remember when i was young.
