Hi sometimes_miss, long time no see!Originally Posted by sometimes_miss
But why do you feel as if women do things differently than men do. Examples: in the kitchen, the men I know do things exactly the same way I do. In the yard as well, or the way we hold a paintbrush to paint a room, or a screwdriver to fix something, or the way we all back our cars out of the driveway into the street. My SO and I hold our laptops on our laps and type the same way. I'm running out of examples.
As to your examples, you mention putting on a coat with long hair. A guy with loose long hair will pick up his hair and get it out of the way of the collar just like a woman with long hair would. And he certainly will also do his best to not get his long hair trail into his soup bowl when eating. lol. And it stands to reason that both men and women with longer hair will need to pass a comb through it more than men and women with shorter hair. As to going out on windy days, I think everyone gets their hair mussed up, women and men with shorter or longish hair. Women no longer get their hair styled weekly at the salon with tons of hairspray the way my mother did, requiring a scarf when out on windy days for protection. At outdoor events, I see both men and women drinking sodas or beer out of a can. As to the different ways we sit, I'll give you that one. Men have extras between their legs that make it uncomfortable to sit a long time with thighs together like women do, and so the difference there is simply due to having a different anatomy. As to using fabric softener, my sons do the laundry just as much as their wives and they all do it the same way, whether they use fabric softener or not. As to ironing, honestly I don't see any of my daughters-in-law ironing. I don't even know if they own ironing boards. lol. I cannot remember the last time I ironed something but if I did it was likely a man's dress shirt ... not my own stuff. Most casual clothes don't need ironing, and they all (sons and wives) dress pretty casually most of the time. Also I've seen my sons take their Tshirts off in the yard. They use both hands just like I do.
I wonder sometimes if CDers perceive things differently than how they are, because they seem to put females up on a pedestal so much?
