i think its not a gender question really KJ... for me, its people to people.. but, there are certain particulars that are unique, like post partum depression a man might not as quickly connect with ... and of course im wrong because many ment do....

so, the same would apply in a womans place i imagine... that certain 'male' particulars might be better tended by a fellow male..... i think that is true also....

but, if i was on a desrt isle with a woman for my partner, i would hope she would help the best she could, and ask nothing more..... id hope to do the same for her.....

in the process we may possibly each grow... and thats ok...

so, treat a man like you would like to be treated i guess is what im saying.... men sometimes have short fuses with feelings and want to 'act out' ....... there is a good guy in there... if you could, try to find and respect and care for that guy... he really does have feelings too.. even if he doesnt understand them either......

and as always... no when the chore is larger than you are imo...
