First off the boat, first through the door, first in line for benefit payments, when will it all end.
We hear the repeated claim that they perform better than the male at school, they are more sensitive and therefore more in tune, they can multi-task when we can't, if only they had a sense of direction !!!
Why do they fire looks at us with the power of a Trident Missile when we innocently make a comment to which they are opposed, where is their flexibility then ?
In times of yor when they happily succumbed to our guidance and protection, when their world was encapsulated in making scones and keeping the house tidy they listened with awe to their husband, revealing his day in the office or his pronouncements about the state of the nation.
Now everyone is an expert. You are as likely to hear two guys in a pub discussing the best marinade to use over the joint they have to cook when they get home, as to hear the women discussing an outrageous night out when anything goes and describing it is like a trophy hunt.
Strange times when because of the in-congruent nature of our relationship these days there is no right way or wrong way. Do you open a door, or make way for the supposed weaker sex or would doing so lead to a claim of being pejorative.
If in the rough and tumble of life one is encouraged to treat the sexes with no distinction. How then do we apply those subtle forms of differentiation which bring a smile to both parties, that signal the differences without point scoring. If in this gender blind world we forget what it was, when growing up, attracted us to the opposite sex in the first place. How we responded to the signs and became intrigued by the complications which socially set us, on the separate path whether we were a boy or girl.
If social engineering can drill down and remove the sexual structure which from birth distinguished us and made us respond differently, then we will have gained something at the price of loosing something far greater.
