Gender differences

I do not appreciate the comment regarding flashing my bits, it is a pic and as far as I can see there is nothing offensive on show there. My opinion is something else and I believe in freedom of speech. People do not have to like what others say but they should at least respect what they say! Look what has happened in NZ recently and that great example of democracy stopping people having their political opinion voiced before an election.

Hey Nimpho chick, giving me red for a post in a thread regarding fiestiness and being able to stand up for yourself as a "chick" but not you being able to respond in public is a bit against what you are trying to say here isnt it? By the way it is my opinion that you are opinionated, fiesty is one thing but nasty is another.... I can be both and more.

My family has been through a lot; what doen't kill you makes you stronger and gives you a very different outlook on life! Why shouldn't I get out of the bed in the morning; I have a great life, an amazing family, awesome friends, two cats I adore and life is for living, embracing and cherishing.

And as a psychologist you can't prescribe meds, it is psychiatrists that prescribe!!

It appears that you have been through EVERYTHING under the sun. Im surprised that you get outta bed in the morning..... You sure that you're taking your meds? Are you doing physch so that you can prescribe your own?

Personally, I'm of the opinion that if there is a God, and he didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.

Scary. People are made out of meat as well....yikes

reminds me of the line in that movie Zathura (the follow on from Jumanji) where the kid gets told that the lizard creatures eat meat and "we're meat!"

I understand that you guys have recently lost some area of freedom of speech, please do not let the internet be another area where you do have have the capacity to say what you really think and believe.

I may not like or agree with that you say but I will always respect your opinion and right to say what you think. I just hope that you do not feel the need to censor yourself as people have died so that we have freedom and liberty.

I just wish that when people are going to quote what another person has said they use the entire quote so that an appropriate view can be achieved. Giving a abbreviated version of someone elses opinion will never give a true perspective.

Now, now sweetheart...you did good! and for what it's worth, I was with you on all posts!

I suppose I was a girly girl, not that it was pushed on me, but I did like playing with barbies, and dolls, but with three older brothers i also liked to climb trees, play backyard cricket and ride my bike, have races with the boys down the street etc.

There you go. I have seen a comment or two on here about being balanced.

I reakon thats exactly what tomboyism is about. A girl grows into a woman well adjusted. On one hand she has developed nurturing qualities (which socially is viewed as submissive and passive) and on the other hand she has developed assertiveness (boldness and confidence)

and it is probably the same for boys that play as boys but also like to dress up in girls clothes and play with dolls...they develop the same balance??

Maybe describing oneself as "feisty" from a female perspective should be veiwed more positively in that they are confident, self assured and assertive.

Some sense at last, thanks Katwyn!!! Labels suck.....
Remember ladies, it's not a competition, at the end of the day we should all be on the same side and not trying to one up each other (as much as it's fun to see people who think they are better than everyone else get cut down to size). Have

From what I have read boys who dress up when younger have a far more advanced reading capability than those boys who do not. They believe that this is related to the theory of mind principle in that the boys who dress up can put themselves in other people's position and this helps them to understand the thoughts, feeling and emotions of others. This may lead these boys to be more balanced later in life but not sure about that.

Hear hear for the tomboy comment. Best of both worlds, maybe?!

Shit, this thread became interesting, didn't it!

For the record, I've never been maternal and never wanted kids. Not because I have such a fantastic career that I don't want to ruin my lifestyle but because I am not one of those women who think that breeding is compulsory. I wish more people felt like me because a lot of women have kids when they really don't want them and they don't treat them that well as a result.

As for not having kids because you don't want to leave them in day care, etc, that is a bit old-fashioned. I know if I had had kids, there is no way I'd want to be with them 24/7, it would drive me around the bend!

It's not often I agree with St8jacket but you are not feisty, you're opinionated and appear to be looking for a fight. And I think you've found one...
