Courtesy and flaming don't mix.

Things "everybody knows" are often false.  I know some women who are
MUCH stronger than I.  It's often not how much you have, but how willing
you are to use what you have.

I'd say this was a stereotype.  I certainly don't think that way.  What
goes through my mind when I look at a car is how gas efficient it would be,
how much it pollutes the environment, etc.  Come to think of it, maybe
I think classically after all (but then, so do many women).  Maybe a new
category should be used, like "practical" thinking.

Hunh?  I always thought of music as feminine, for some reason.  Must be
that classical Greek muse stuff.
