Before I had kids, I was pretty sure that there was no difference between the sexes.... that any differences were due to social and cultural conditioning - and not due to anything biological.
Then I had a little girl. Then I had a little boy. Followed by another girl.
One day, when my oldest girl was 2 1/2 and my boy was 1 I took them for a walk. On the sidewalk, we saw a lady bug. My girl said, "oh mommy, isn't it cute?" My boy waddled up to the bug - looked at it - then stomped on it.
My take on the sexes changed a little that day.
Having said that - my hubby does the cooking - mostly.
He does the cleaning too.
I am the "responsible one" while he is the "dreamer" - but both my parents are in relationships (not with eachother) in which the woman is the dreamer and the man is the responsible one.
I definately agree that you can not say "all" men this or "all" women that - but what about "most" or "a lot" ?
I honestly don't know.
I guess that brings us full circle to the very beginning of this thread... are women the action takers? The answer is....
some women are
some women are not
some men are
some men are not
Oh, and Russ.... I look forward to hearing what you think about Guys The Art of the Start!!
FYI, the part I left out in his quote - in the interest of saving space was about men having the "kill" gene and that their instinct is to "kill the competition" where as a woman does not have that gene.
