I still wish I could get you to tell me what you see as the problem with what was said or how I reacted. You're often very cryptic, whether you realize it or not, Daima. Maybe it is partly the "Daima stoned" factor, as you put in your post.

If it's the idea of me, a modern, educated, halfway intelligent (some days I wonder) woman, looking at football as a man's domain and shopping as a woman's, that's simply because that is my personal experience. When my spouse and his buddies are yelling at the TV like cave men, I do withdraw and either read books far, far away or shop or cook or go to movies or museums. I do things I like. I don't like the noise or the violence of football. It seems to fit the testosterone-driven brain and body more than my estrogen-driven one. I'd rather do my own thing. Something softer, gentler.

But if it's the idea of your suddenly realizing I'm more of a traditional wife than you imagined, or finding out that I'm a woman who can easily attribute a comment like the "facial" remark to a guy being a guy and let that slide off her back, then that's just you learning more about me, maybe, and not finding that the reality of me meets with what you imagined. Some of this may have more to do with some old stuff between you and Bong rather than me at all, now that I think about it.

I plead guilty to liking to shop better than liking football. And to believing guys sometimes say things that women wouldn't necessarily say or think, particularly very overtly sexual things. And I even plead guilty to being a surprisingly traditional wife and mother, which, for me, hasn't been about any unfairness to me. It's been something that has fit both my personality and my aptitude for child-raising and home-keeping, and which hasn't in any way suppressed my intellect or my aptitude for academics or, for that matter, my career, when I had a paying one. It's just a part of me. Maybe it's a part you're just becoming aware of.

Take care, Daima. I always enjoy interacting with you even if I sometimes am not sure where you're coming from. You're probably thinking the same thing about me!
