		<description>&lt;p&gt;My guess is MOST guys would classify themselves within.. simply coz you&#039;d &lt;em&gt;like&lt;/em&gt; to think so. Exceptions would include guys who have found the &lt;em&gt;converted&lt;/em&gt; girl.:)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At least they recognize the fact. Not that they do too much about it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SEV&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey &lt;lj user=&quot;popcorn09&quot;&gt;, don&#039;t take all this too seriously. This wasn&#039;t intended to be a rant against women. Humans are humans, gender notwithstanding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But your comment did trigger a memory from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/history.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a story I particularly like&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;q&gt;The obvious thing to do was to give the running of the world over to women. There was Thatcher in the Falklands and Indira Gandhi in Bangladesh, it was true; but still it would be worth trying, it could hardly get worse! And given the maternal instinct, it would probably be better. Give every first lady her husband&#039;s job. Perhaps every woman her man&#039;s job. Let the men care for the children, for five thousand years or fifty thousand, one for every year of murderous patriarchy.&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Frankly, my dear, I don&#039;t think it&#039;d change a thing (and no, I can&#039;t pull the Casablanca look, in my dreams, even - &lt;em&gt;smiles&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Read that rant more closely and read the penultimate paragraph :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And these grapes are delicious - forbidden fruit often is sweeter ...&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Brainwashing starts at home (heard while watching a &lt;i&gt;&lt;em&gt;family&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/i&gt; drama):-&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;&lt;i&gt;Oh, you wouldn&#039;t do that to me ... you&#039;re such a nice guy.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Somewhere in the lines of &lt;i&gt;gentlemen don&#039;t wage war on women&lt;/i&gt; or million other things which is called Chivalry (in other words, &lt;i&gt;be what you not are&lt;/i&gt;). Forced to conform or be part of evolution&#039;s overflow from the gene pool (&lt;em&gt;ahe&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wasn&#039;t this from somewhere near new years or something ?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sort of makes sense - after you have a season of joy, something has to compensate.&lt;/p&gt;
