Yo, DU. I think we all need to take a deep breath, just for a moment, to remember

81. what is, though, the mind of a woman?

When you write

"you act 'manly'"

what is that supposed to mean? Smoking the same cigarettes as Mick Jagger?

Then I can't get no satisfaction.

I would say that there are many ways to "be a man". I have worn my hair long. In fact, by some standards, it is long right now. And I have also partially shaved my head. (and one of my friends called it "the ugliest haircut" (the jewelry store down the street was having an ugliest ring contest))

I have never joined the military, although sometimes I have regretted that (I could be retired (and honored) right this very now if I had. A classmate of mine is in the guard and posting pictures from Slovakia!! Will I ever get to visit Slovakia? I doubt it. I highly doubt it.)

Some men don't date girls. In fact, I have not dated a female myself since 1999 (not for total lack of trying though. Every couple of years I give myself another opportunity to be rejected). Other men avoid dating females on purpose.

Are we not men? Or are we Devo?

Given a wide latitude in gender styles, I am not sure what somebody wants when they want to change genders. One thing they seem to want is for the world to treat them differently than they do at present, but that is something that lots of people, of either gender, want.
