"You should slip into the Board as a woman"My first problem would be with the slip. Joan, I don't even understand my own wife of twenty years, so trying to impersonate a woman is clearly out of the question for me. However, becoming another MAN, or a person of questionable gender (excuse me, but WHAT is an "SPOR" or a "vulcantouch" or a "Bulldog"?) would be a fascinating challenge.

Hey Marian, even if English isn’t your “mother tongue,” you wield the
English language beautifully. Now we Americans are terribly
monolingual, so I envy your skill with foreign languages. The one way
that I can spot your posts before looking at your name is that you
utilize the bold/quotation keys quite often. However, your skilled English
usage never gives you away. I am thrilled that we have so many
international members, (Thor, Andre, etc.) who communicate so well
in English. What I wish is that I could pick up our U.K. and Australian
friends’ accents. Oh, how I love the way the British say “schedule.”Boris, another 20 years with your wife probably won’t help you understand
women any better. (Nor will I understand men.) It’s the old Mars-
Venus syndrome. (Why don’t all you guys get in touch more often with your
feminine side?
) On the other hand, maybe I should..you know.Back to topic. Anyone want to reveal his/her twin, triplet identities yet?

Thanks for the kind words, mommy. After spending the major part of the last 11 years of my life in front of computers (listening to film scores most of the time for the last 6 years or so
), it's only natural that I'm not too bad in English, I think. Speaking English is another thing - when writing, I can look up words in my dictionary without anyone seeing how long it takes.

I know that you were only joking about men getting in touch with their "feminine side", Joan, but we both know that's a widely held belief these days, and the feminizing of boys is becoming very common. Seems that it is society's response to the widespread violence among teenage boys, and many educators are now listening to feminist leaders who recommend that boys be taught to knit and cook and play with dolls in an effort to "get in touch with their feminine side", thereby hopefully circumventing the outbreak of the violent tendencies so common to teenage boys.
I believe that young men need to learn how to become gentlemen, not ladies. They need to be taught the high standards of heroism that their forefathers died for. They need to learn how to use their God-given strengths to protect and to defend the weak and helpless in society, standing against all criminals. And they need to be taught respect, true heartfelt respect for all women, regardless of race or creed. This is what I am teaching my sons, and I believe these lessons are more valuable than nearly everything they are learning in the public school system (although I am pleased that they are learning to read and write very well, and they're not too shabby in the math department). Didn't mean to sermonize here, getting into Daniel2 and Chris Kensinger territory I guess. I just go a little nuts when anybody talks about men "getting in touch with their feminine side". Imagine how today's women felt if men wanted them to "get in touch with their masculine side"! Wow, that would be pretty ugly!

Yeah, Boris, I was only joking, so calm down. Teach your sons
to be gentleman, but don’t forget that gentlemen can COOK, which
is IMHO a necessary survival skill for both genders. You referenced
Chris Kinsinger, and he is a gourmet cook, I think.
(I’m a rotten cook by the way
and NEVER knit.) And I taught my daughters to, in a sense,
get in touch with their “masculine side” by teaching them to use their
brains, to be well-educated, and to become economically
autonomous. If they marry, I hope it lasts because of love, not because
of financial dependency. Since they now live in a big
city, they lift weights, work out every day, and have taken
self defense courses which seems rather savvy in today’s society.
They are also drop dead gorgeous and very feminine, but they don’t
knit.So no one has “come out” yet. Darn. I’m leaving on a vacation
for a few days tomorrow, so if anyone shows up with the moniker

BorisSociety is ever evolving, ever improving, and ever maturing, much like CMS (contemporary musical sensibilities). The wilderness has been conquered, new technologies have been developed, and western civilization now enjoys unprecedented levels of peace. The male sex, in its macho, aggressive, physical, strutting, egotistic and destructive form, has served its purpose. Women today have overtaken ‘men’ as the leaders of society (you will find that most male leaders of society have a strong and resourceful wife or partner ‘pulling the strings’). As the 21st century progresses, women themselves will continue to become leaders of government and industry, and will one day (in the not so distant future) outnumber men as leaders of society. Women aren’t doing this by discovering their masculine side, no, they are doing it by reinforcing their natural and inherent feminine superiority. The female intellect and powers of reason are well in advance of those of the male.
Up until the middle of the 20th century, women were actively undermined by men. Prior to the mid-20th century, the world was basically an uncivilized and unruly place…..mankind was yet to fully master the forces of nature (he hasn’t ‘fully’ yet, but he’s done enough to make life comfortable for himself), and society itself was still rather primitive. It is no coincidence that as society has developed and become more mature and sophisticated it is the refulgency of womankind that has blazed the trail and it is the female of the species that is acquiring the ascendancy. Not only that, the pilosity of the male merely reinforces the more primitive nature of man and the male sexuality is also far more inclined toward allotropy.
In any case, as far as humans are concerned, the male of the species is far more feminine than the female is masculine…..if you catch my drift. The male sex is the weaker sex, emotionally and intellectually. The female is also physically far stronger than the male….I doubt if many men would survive the menstrual cycle, let alone giving birth.
It is extraordinarily condescending of men to hold doors open for women…..not only that, it is also a perfect example of the male instinct for childishly transparent duplicity, flummery and disingenuousness.
Apart from anything else, the male is severely handicapped by his sex drive, an overactive libido does tend to cloud his judgement and weaken his objectivity, though in time an effective drug will be developed to quell mankind’s innate sexual febrility.
The human male is also rather more mendacious than the female, thus it is only right that the male sex is compelled to reinforce the feminine aspect of his being….that can only benefit him, his acquaintances and society as a whole.
The male of the species is far more naturally inclined towards what are popularly perceived as feminine tendencies than the female is inclined toward what are popularly conceived as masculine tendencies. Indeed, as the inosculation of the sexes continues, the human race, as a whole, is becoming more feminine….and as such, femininity is serving as an emollient to mankind’s primitive and barbaric nature and sensibilities. The human male’s ongoing transubstantiation is thankfully irresistible, whilst civilization exists.
In our sophisticated and politically-correct age, femininity in females and males is being pursued, whilst ‘masculinity’ continues to be discredited.

I was raised in the belief that such behaviour is simply "good manners". And in spite of all of the wrong-headed teaching that I have since discarded in my lifetime, I still believe in exhibiting good manners. I open doors for women and men alike all the time. And ya' wanna know something? The vast majority of them really like it! They smile and thank me. I need all the smiles I can generate, Daniel2.
And, by the way, Joan...I aspire to the title "Gourmet Cook"...but I'm really only a dabbler. Boris & I will have to talk about that later.
OH! I almost forgot! Daniel2, one of my favorite episodes of The Avengers featured Christopher Lee as an electrical man...and in that particular show, Diana Rig enunciates the word "ah-loo-MIN-ee-um" so wonderfully! Even as a teenager, she curled my little toes!

Are we all finished being silly yet?The people with real multiple personality disorders haven't contacted me yet, so I am debating what to do next. Perhaps the best thing is to get in touch with them via email?
I was hoping for a coming out party, but this got a little ridiculous! Say, isn't it summer where most of you are? Aren't there a few things to do outside? I can understand why those who really have multiple personalities can't go out and play - they've got personality accounting to do to make sure unfortunate accidents don't happen... but, the rest of you?
Anyway, I hope you had fun with this. I need to go thinking about things.

Chris KinsingerFor a man to hold a door open for a woman today, is seen by many women as the ultimate insult. Politically-correct etiquette is far more important than ‘good manners’.
Things may still be different in Pennsylvania….oh, while I’m talking about your part of the world, the city of ‘brotherly love’ is due for a more feminine name change…..maybe Fillydelphia would be more appropriate in today’s enlightened and politically-correct age.

Well, if I have indeed committed the "ultimate insult" to women, you're the first one to make me aware of it, Daniel2.
As I said, I open doors for men and women alike each and every day, and by my (non-scientific) survey 99% of the population approves of the gesture. Occasionally I am greeted with no response whatsoever, but that is only 1% of the time, and that is the absolute worst treatment that I have yet received. I suppose your conclusion is that Pennsylvania is backward territory, not to be considered part of cutting-edge civilization. My conclusion is that this is just one more time when you are dead wrong, Daniel2.
