I'll agree with that for the most part. Although I think if such a message board [screwdriver follies] existed, women would be all over it. For example, reference the success of the sitcom 'Home Improvement'. It's funny to lampoon those addicted to the screwdriver. Notice however, the show never once lampooned the wifes inability to fix anything mechanical. Her job was to fix the family. I would have preferred equal opportunity lampooning. Sexist? Hardly. They taught us in psych 101 that males are better at math and logic, while females excel in language and nurturing. Who's to say which is more important? My favorite quote on Jon Heal's Web site is 'Jack of both sides of the brain, master of none' (You're brilliant if you came up w/ that yourself Jon!). It's important to balance the yang with a little yin for males, and should be so for females as well. I wish more girls were into jacking around in the other side of the brain. Supposedly thier hearing ability is superior to males, and I bet they could come up with some great sounding hi fi kit. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22564 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
