Amusing

The other day i was arguing with someone about men and women in the SI office... its a common argument cause we have all kinds of friendly bigotry going on in there. really its a lot of cool intelligent people all sharing a very tiny space and its just awesome. back to the main topic though, one of the women folk were remarking about how guys are always thinking about sex. This seems like a very matter of fact statement but how many women would be find it incorrect if i said that women are always so emotional, in fact i have said similar things in that dark time in my life :-P anywho... how would those two statement be related? it's each gender 1. generalizing everyone of the opposite gender and 2. not accepting the fact that each gender is a slave to both the hormones present and the levels of those hormones. As jessica help me put together today: testosterone = sex and estrogen = emo (ooo subtle jab to the ladies there) but all of my point in this is that we as males and females should accept 2 things equally:

1. we will never truly understand how the other works. which is why women get frustrated when guys "just don't understand" and why guys can't understand not being in the mood. Of course these are not the only cases of not understanding each other.

2. we each feel like the other is so odd for not being like us ... we aren't the right gender and the other is odd, we are two genders meant to compliment each other with completely different brain chemistry and thought processes.

i really don't know what spawned this line of thinking... im off to go find a woman to do my dishes in the kitchen :-D
