Oh gosh. I took a female playwrights course in college. And yet - men have still fallen in love with me! Fancy that!

It's easier to cut and paste.

Then, apply this to gender roles.

Haven't you pointed out on this forum that you do not respect your mother?

HAHAHA

Most men DO NOT know about cars. They pretend to know something about them because they're 'supposed' to, but in reality most men don't even know how to pop the hood on their own car.

I don't quite understand 'practical subjects' though... what is practical to one may not be practical to another. I think knowing about how aircraft work is very practical, but most people know absolutely nothing beyond the Bernoulli Effect, if they even know that much.

Didn't I explain it already? He doesn't do any of the things a traditional man does; she does all the things the traditional women do + working for a living. It's pretty simple really.

They couldn't resist a sheepskin from Big Blue, that's why!

Actually, this is painfully obvious, and kind of the root of what's going on here in my estimation.

What's hilarious about traditionalists is how dependent you are on liberal scientists.

OK, ladies and germs, we at least have a definition of the "traditional" male. Robert's jury is still out on the "traditional" female: does she work? Does she stay home? Does she give Tiger Woods BJ's? We're still waiting for clarification--stay tuned .

The traditional male likes sports (I assume you mean organized sports), cars, tinkering with cars, and studies "practical" subjects. Practical subjects like plumbing and electrical, or like finance and investing? Or are the latter two too brainy for the traditional male? Just trying to clarify.

So the traditional male isn't an intellectual, I think we've established that much.
