For Thoran, I agree that there is a continuing trend to skew certain statistics against men (wage gap, abuse gap, etc), which is what makes Statistics simultaneously fun and meaningless. She doesn't care too much for numbers or articles or such, just relaying what she had been personally experiencing vis-a-vis attitudes towards women. The typical woman in our town has at least 3 children (usually 2 of them are age 4 or younger) and 1 on the way [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] , stays at home most of the day--when she isn't shopping, and doesn't work; hence, the attitude of their husbands is, to put it mildly, archaic. They expect her not to work and have a litter, and this attitude comes out in their general behavior. She didn't mean to rant at any specific male (that is my job, thank you very much [img]tongue.gif[/img] ).

For IAmThumper...Azred pats you on your head. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
On the one hand, Belle doesn't have to explain herself to you; on the other hand, she doesn't patronize others to feel better.
She does speak for herself (when I let her [img]tongue.gif[/img] oh, I'll pay for that comment); she simply chose not to respond personally.
Everyone has bad days and bad moods...don't take things so personally. We never do. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
