really i'm not a very strong type..so I was trying to weed out the influence of female responses...which by and large would'nt possess the sort of clever strategies that your typical male lives with because the pressure we put on each other exists 24/7.
I don't know what a "real" woman is to be honest..I know there are females who posess stronger thinking styles than myself, and are more focussed and defensive..perhaps better fighters..most of my girlfriends have been stronger thinkers than me..but they could'nt have the experience of being a male in a male environment..
yes everything you say makes sense..but i'd like to ask you ..how can a female understand how to deal with this type of problem ?
Male environments are by the deepest nature..one of constant pressure and dominance ..when a female enters a "Typical" male environment the structure can become destabilized..this has been well observed...its not an excuse for men to run the world..because quite frankly I think we've just F89ed it up...
By saying what I did this was trying to elicit the sort of psychological wisdom similiar to someone who's been holed up in a "jail" type scenario..which is how things have felt..what woman could understand this ?.
perhaps a lesbian who hid her gender..but thats extreme..
..allowances will always be made for females..thats just the way things are..
