Thank you Trish. I do tend to be a bit "sweeping" in the general and there are variations. Many women I have known recognize these behaviors and we can joke about them as indeed the common behaviors of men! It is only my perception; but in my working life generally the "professional" female staff (university educated) who are most fragile in that feminist sense of seeing "isms" everywhere. Where the bulk of the, 90% female, workers generally are much more "down to earth". I get the impression from my elders and my youth in the 70s and 80s, that generally both sexes tended to think more about "people", expecting similar from men and women. Whereas we seem t be at a polarized point where women are beyond any form of inquiry or reproach and men are considered incapable of any virtue. Though the former is very dangerous in the hands of the manipulative, selfish or ambitious individuals; the latter bodes ill. For where is the incentive to do "the right thing" if nothing you do is right? In the end alienating more and more "human doings" bodes ill for everyone. Society invests heavily in managing and getting males to self manage their powerful emotions. The ones that carry them through the hellish trench warfare in Ukraine, or up the ladders at a fire, or through a storm in a small rotund trawler or surgery on a child ... and so on. Do we really want to find out how emotional males can be and what they can do?
