Quote:

we have come a long way baby, but there are still pockets of society that want to keep woman down on farm, barefoot and pregnant.. and girls raised in that sort of cultural norm tend to use the questioning habit of speaking. they feel uncomfortable making any statement. so everything they say becomes a question. It frustrating to deal with. and can become an entrenched habit.



Ha.

Methinks, Hellen, that you underestimate your fellow womenkind.

The nuances of language are such that anyone's pat explaination of the subtlety expressed by the female when she is talking is wrong. The female is the driving evolutionary force of our species and her edicts determine all future human events. Be not mistaken, her words are complicated and pragmatic and her meaning is determined by the nonce. The wise man soon learns not to think in manthink but to simply react to the female's whims and hope for the best.

But the rare woman who stoops to use logic is even more out-of-whack. She is a Luciano Pavarotti taking lessons to learn how to grunt like a pig.

Girlthink about it. A woman who corrals kids of both kinds for the most part of her adult life might need to effect a rise in tone at the end of a sentence in order to threaten "are you listening?" .

Or did I misunderstand your point?
