Hi Laz,

I like what you said to JC about the differences between what men and women value. Quite true. Women are more affiliative, probably both through genetics and environmental influences. I think that since men have been judged in terms of their ability as providers, they've come to focus on wealth, power and physical strength to that end. There's also a genetic factor there too, I believe.

As we and our cultures and technology evolve, I see these distinctions becoming less relevant on a functional level. It fascinates me though, as individual women and men cross over those behavioral patterns, to see the general reaction of their peers. Strong, bright women who are verbally aggressive, like X and Hillary Clinton, become targets for derision. The same applies to men to whom affiliativeness ranks high.

I think the first female Presidential candidate will be Hillary Clinton and I'm looking forward to voting for her.
