I am sad about the divisions between men and women....
I really like men, I KNOW a lot have been burned, but really, it seems some have so many hangups from the past that they can no longer view a new woman as a potential friend, and they seem jaded so they also see women as "just like the rest of them", and yes, we as women do the same things...
I wish we could all start off with a clean slate, and start thinking about the good things in the opposite gender again.

I think some of it has been fueled by the internet. People can get online, cyber "date", look for potential partners, join support groups or forums, swap stories with others around the world, bitterness spreads, and it just feeds on itself. So now things are being accepted as "normal" when it's all just pop-psychology fed to us in a different way, to a much broader audience, and across all language barriers.
I don't see this bitterness with any of my friends that don't go online regularly. And I have never heard any of my offline male friends refer to being an "alpha" or "beta" man. Or any of my friends saying "I'm an ENTJ, but my husband/wife/SO is an INFP. I don't think we're compatible!"
What happened to the good old days when Men were From Mars and Women were from Venus, Oprah preached to the bored SAHM (yes, that was me), and men had meetings in the woods, naked, playing drums?

I think you're right to some extent. I was just wondering today if all the products got so crappy or the gazillion reviews make it look so. Afraid it's a combination of both, though.

The real problem is the multiplications. At first is seems like a nice addition but before you know it the additions are dividing (makes you sad, sorry). Subtraction, while legal, suffers from moral issues. I guess the real problem is math. Perhaps people should outlaw it.
It was a fun show, but I doubt too many women identify themselves with the characters.
Disagree. On Sunday, I was driving around Brickell (a district of Miami) and a saw 10 x dozen "Sex And The City" wannabes, strutting around like their s**t didn't stink. The show may have been fun, but it spawned a whole lot of thoroughly obnoxious women to become Sex And The City wannabes.

One of the major factors in causing damage in the male/female relationship was this crap:
I'm all for equality, but this nonsense really helped screw things up.
Soooo true. I wouldn't want to be lumped into the same category as them, or be influenced to act like them either...but unfortunatly, I think a large enough number were influenced enough to act, and now we are all lumped into the same category.
I miss and open male, who isn't afraid of women.....
