Have you read some of the research popularized in such books as "Men are from Mars ... " The more of this I read, the more I realize that men and women really ARE different in many more ways than their physical attributes or sexual organs. They are different in the way they approach socializing, in the way they interrelate with people, in their approaches to their basic Maslowian needs. I don't know if the term "battle" is necessarily appropriate, but I think that conflict of the sexes is inevitable and probably societally healthy, as well as necessary.

Well, if you're thinking about your own recent experiences, these things do tend to make one bitter. If someone were to prove that men and women are actually different species, that had managed to learn to live together, it would not surprise me in the least. Being the mother of two boys has been fascinating. They compete about everything. They fight about everything. They must bang and boom and shoot things. My older would gladly spend all day, from sunup to midnight, on his computer playing Dungeons and Dragons. I can't imagine a girl doing that. But for fun, both you and I like to get on the computer and talk to people, so how different can we be?
