Hmmm... I seem to be falling of the trap today of thinking in abstract terms. Which may not be terribly thoughtful of me on a per-person basis.
Certainly gender differences are not universal and not displayed in the same way by all members of a particular sex. I'm more than well aware of that, since my husband and I always joke about our role reversal.
Dr. Bob, even though an unneutered male, may not have engaged in p*ssing contests, and may have no idea what it feels like. Because certainly not all men do. And not all women display aggression in an indirect and overtly civil manner. And certainly not all, or even most, men display aggression in an overt and uncivil manner.
There, I've taken back as much as I could of what I said. Which leaves me with nothing to ask Dr. Bob about gender differences. :)
If he thinks it's worth thinking about he can. Or he can totally dismiss it as it may be well worth dismissing.
