Thanks for the replys.

Again I want to state that I am not just talking about romantic relationships, or even just friendships with women.

The other night I was helping with packing a container with supplies bound for Syria to help the situation over their. It contained donations of food, medicine and clothes - that sort of thing. Despite hiring a big container that could contain 16 pallets of goods, there wasn't enough space for everything that was collected. I was the only male on site with the exception of the driver, the warehouse manager, and the forklift driver - the three of which were not really a part of the effort to create this care package.

Because there was not enough space for all the supplies, a discussion on what items should be a priority started. In the end, despite my objections, this is the decision that was made by the women I was working with.

Food > Womens Clothes > Childrens Clothes > Medical Supplies > Childrens Toys > Mens Clothes.

This decision was made despite the fact that for every three boxes of womens clothes there was only one box for men. There was no reason given for this decision except that "they would find somewhere else to send the mens clothes".

There are no plans for a second container that I know of.

At the end of the night when the truck was loaded, one of the women wrote a large sign and tied it to the back of the load inside the crate. It read: "From the Women of England, with love".

The money for this endevor was raised by a Muslim man. The donations were given by all sorts. The colections were taken by volunteers of both genders. Why that sign was written or why mens clothes were removed was simply because the final steps of the process were overseen by women.
