thanks bebop, I think you have a very good opinion.

I think cultural expectations has a lot to do with too-- I bet more than some scientist want to admit.

Deep in my heart I like to believe that humans are not that different from each other-- mentally-- no matter the gender. That it's more cultural influences causing male/female behavior and thinking variations than biology.

I'm not able to accept some harmful sterotypes that many say can't be helped because that's just the way it is.

on a side note--- Off topic--- I'm going to make your pistachio cake in a couple weeks-- you know-- it's <font color="green">GREEN </font>!!!! ..... you going to make one too?
