Like it or not we speak and think differently. We are supposed to.

I tend to be more kind and gentle to women (upbringing) and more irreverent to men. Men that don't like that kind of friendly-rude camaraderie, I just do not understand.

I hate anything "touchy-feely". It helps to know whether that vibe is coming from a man or woman.

While we are on a sort of related subject. I do not understand a husband and wife who post on TOTV as one. How can any married couple ALWAYS think alike? I know some who even use the same email address. What is that all about?
I agree with everything you said and the opinions are right on, Steve. The thread which is being complained about was clearly in the 'it would be nice to know" category. If one finds this abhorrent or distasteful, then by-pass, go around, ignore, move on and don't stir the pot needlessly.

If one would seek only to be 'au courant' and get one's thoughts from the modern gurus and iconoclasts, one will never apprehend the fact that many of us respect and uphold Tradition. There are objective and subjective unchangeable attributes between the sexes.

Vive la difference.
