892.1 | Women can, men can't... | ASDG::FOSTER | Calico Cat | Wed Jun 26 1991 15:34 | 18 |
|
First one that comes to mind - men can't have children. Women can.
Now, admittedly, some women are infertile. And some women used to be
men. And not all women want children. But for most women, all the stuff
that goes along with the ability to have children, i.e. menstruation
and menopause and sometimes worrying about pregnancy or else worrying
about trying to get pregnant... its not an area that men have any
actual experience in.
Ironically, I'm beginning to get the feeling that men aren't defineable
by any one thing that they can do, the way women are. Sure, they can
get us pregnant... but how much time out of their lives does it really
take? The rest of the time, they can be doing ANYTHING! I wonder that's
why I feel like when women bond, its because of things we automatically
have in common while lots of men DON'T have any one set of things in
common other than maybe growing facial hair, and thus don't need to
bond in groups...

... lots of men DON'T have any one set of things in

Maybe that's the other side of the coin, 'ren. Maybe it's precisely the
fact that men *can't* do what women can that causes men to bond - which
they clearly do. It could be that the sense of being "hamstrung" in the
face of women's generative power makes men need to bond as a way to
reclaim a sense of power - or even a sense of worth vis a vis women.

| I saw a comedian recently refer to the tendency of men to switch channels
with the remote controls while women are more likely to stick with one show,

"Men hunt, women nest"

Many heterosexual women don't see lesbianism as something "gross and
disgusting" but just something they're not really interested in.
Most heterosexual men do not have similar reactions about being gay.
This makes it easier for women to come together in circles of mixed
orientations... and makes the parallel situation unthinkable for many
men.
Even some totally homophobic women I know can still embrace their
lesbian friends. I wonder how many guys in Mennotes line up to hug
Gerry Fisher...

Random ones I've heard.
Women want to stop and ask directions. Men keep going 'til they find
the place.
Women phrase demands as questions. Men are more direct.
Ex. "Would you like to see a movie?" vs. "Lets go to a movie!"
(Hint: it generally means the same thing!)
Women worry about getting fat; men worry about getting bald.
Many women need to feel loved during sex in order to enjoy it. Many men
don't need love to have a great time during sex.
Many women work at their appearance and are willing to spend time on
something that helps them achieve a certain look; many men want a look
that's easy/low-maintenance, or don't care at all.
Many single women look forward to marriage. Many single men dread
marriage like the plague.
That's enough for now...

| Men, though they may be able to navigate uncharted wilderness without
error [and without asking for directions ;-)], nonetheless become
incapable of finding something - even their own possessions - if there
is a woman in the house.
Women can find anything, even if they are in a total stranger's house.
(This is a psychic thing that does not require an actual search. It is
usually done vocally, as in "Have you looked on the counter by the
phone/next to the sink/under the table?" followed by a male voice
saying "Oh."
[I've even got anecdotal evidence for this one! ;-)]
And, a more general generalization: People who are driving by
themselves either never get lost or don't mind if they do, whereas
people who are driving with their parents in the car _always_ get lost
and _always_ get upset about it, regardless of whether the parents
comment on it or not.

| for years, my male friends and I have had a running joke about how men don't

I read an article in Discovery Magazine (Mc Science? well, anyway, I like it)
that said there is now evidence that:
women's eyesight and brain is more attuned to detecting fine
detail in the environment...FOR INSTANCE, WOMEN SEE MORE DIRT
MORE SWIFTLY THAN MEN...hence, the continuing argument between
husbands and wives about the cleanliness of the family domicile.
what a hoot!!! here we thought we were being sarcastic about the supposed
differences between the sexes....and we were, in essence, right!

it is my theory (although not mine alone, nor did I develop it) that the
brain is a muscle, and like other muscles, will change with exercise.
A brain that is "more attuned to detecting fine detail" might be inborn, or
it might be the result of societal teaching and that women exercise
that portion of their brains more. The conclusions of such a study would
differ if the study was done on infants than on grown men and women.
Also remember that popular science magazines tend to simplify things.
Rarely is neuropsychology so simple that they can simply say "Oh, that's
the 'dirt-detection' part of the brain"...

Men never notice the mess they create.
Women have no idea how to clean power tools, men don't either but do it

Men over-engineer any and all household/yard chores.
Women simply do it.
Women pretty much know what stores to go to to find and buy almost any
item. They also call ahead to find out if the item is in stock and the
store hours.
Men blow a whole day trying to find a certain kind of a whatziz, driving
from store to store and then don't buy it when they find it since
they are unsure if it's the best.
Men are happy with stuff if they are sure it is the finest, best made,
and most efficient of its kind. This is especially true if the item is
a gas grill, sound system, or power tool.
Women prefer stuff that performs as necessary when necessary.
Men almost never try on clothes before purchasing. They also always
buy the same size no matter what reality their body attempts to
enforce or how the garment is cut.
Women try clothes on half a dozen times from six-different angles
before buying something. Their closets are full of things in just
about every size. This is true even if their weight is constant.

| Of course, there is also the possibility that men belch because of the
great rise it gets form their female companions...
...just another theory.

Well!
My brother taught me the joys and challenges of diaphragm-based
belching, as he is a singer, and he can export the most amazing
belches I have ever heard. So, I don't refrain from belching.
In fact, I delight in creating deep and rumbling (keeping one's
mouth shut is ideal for the rumbling effect) belches, although
I do refrain from meek, meaningless burps.

| I don't know, I always figured men belched (from either end!) because
they had gas!
Women, too!

Gee, eagles, the way I heard it, remember, folks, this was before maybe
half of you were born, was, "Horses sweat. Men perspire. *Ladies*
merely glow."

| This reminds me of a time when we got into a "fart convo" once. Then
one of our friends said, "Gee what did you do on Saturday night?---
AAAWWW We sat around & talked about farting!!" Everyone changed the
subject. I remember thinking to myself, "This is SO strange. It's a
normal body function, and never mind DOING it, these people can't
even TALK about it! Why is our society like that?" I still don't know.
I don't fart & burp out loud, either.
Shrug,

You're kidding, right?
My observation has been the *exact* opposite.
If I were to make a generalization, it would be that "Women know how to
handle their male SO's relationships with other female humans reasonably;
most men can't handle *any* threat to their status as 'man in her life'."
D!
