Michael, I don't want to keep fighting with you. I'm tired of it. It's unpleasant. Please quit picking at me. And please quit saying mean things to my friends. In my mind's eye, we are all at a party in someone's very large house, sitting around in a very large living room, having conversations that sometimes include large groups of people, and sometimes break up into smaller conversations. If you were at a party with your relatives, or with people you work with, how would you behave?

I wonder if you are older than 50. You said that your children have graduated college, so it seems likely. It seems to me that that generation might be one of the last generations where men, in general, felt uncomfortable around women. I do remember at parties in high school, groups splitting up into male and female, the females congregating in the kitchen, and the males in the rec room or whatever. But when I got interested in drama, the parties never did split up into male and female. Nor when I was in college, or law school. At least, not that I noticed. I was always in a group of people, laughing and talking, male and female. Maybe what changed was that women felt comfortable expressing themselves, arguing, etc. Women's lib, and all that. Is there something about being around women that makes you uncomfortable?
