May I adjudge from context that you were using the first sense (as your main reference concerned biology rather than psychology)?No, no, Keiva, she said botany.

(1) Jackie, this can be resolved only with bel's participation.
That is, you cannot hope to win a "no-bel peace prize". Who, after all, is "in the soup"?
(2) Substantively: since botany=plants (not animals), we must conclude that as to botany, men haven't gotany.
So when bel said, "Men are sooo sensitive about their botany," she had the wrong scientific term, which I corrected.
The more-primary definition of "about" is the first one I cited, further suggesting that bel's comment concerned male biology, rather than male psychology. But bel must clarify this, if she wishes we men to respond properly.

homosexual marriages
A question about this just occurred to me: Does one party in a homosexual marriage take the last name of the other, or do they both keep their original names? Or do they hyphenate them?

well rather than talking about botany or zoology,Bel could have been on about biology, more specifically about symbiotic relationships.. and in this case, men might well be concerned about their botany.
and while we're on the subject, aren't Fig trees botanically related to rubber trees?

Helen, that is absolutely great. Bravo, bravo, clap, clap, clap, clap.
Oh wait, sorry, sorry, if you have rubber you don't get the clap.
Now, do we ladies HAVE to exlain all this stuff to you gents, who are evidently having a little trouble over the inuendo flying back and forth. Whoosh, right over their little heads heh ladies?

I dunno, i don't think its their little heads that are really causing the problems- unless it's a problem with a vascular disease that has some how impeeded the flow of blood to the head they are supposed to be able to think with.
oh wait, that does really clear things up, does it?

of Troy: aren't Fig trees botanically related to rubber trees?
wow: My sides are splitting!
Is it coincidental, my dears, that your two posts were near-simultaneous with bel's post, in another thread, concerning unplanned pregnancies?

feel left out? Not at all, dears, as bel, and old hand herself, specifically invited me to join her for drinks. I am an enthusiast, and you can anticipate I will participate, however you dissipate.
anatomy being destiny and all that
Agreed -- and you may note that the psychological texts include no such term as venus envy.
women of the world, united (bel, Jackie, of troy, and wow)
Ladies (a term used advisedly), as a well-respected, upstanding member of my community, I simply do not do that. At least one of you four will have to leave.
