i think the differences between men and women are obvious to everyone...women think more as a big picture, men think more focused single task. men think more with the rage/anger emotions, women with the mushier emotions.

obviously i'm drawing broad, sweeping generalizations. i can also tell you that lots of men that i've met - and women too - directly contradict that.

These so called differences aren't obvious at all. If they were, we wouldn't be disagreeing with you. You yourself said that you knew many men and women who directly contradicted your views. Doesn't this tell you that maybe your views are a little suspect?

I think you're seeing these differences between sexes because you're looking for them. If you really gave the data an honest look, you'd see that the diverseness of individuals is far greater than the sexual tendencies that do exist.

He didn't resort to profanity in any sense of the word. It's a part of his everyday vocabulary. I don't agree that he's only seeing "the surface" of your comment. Except for being wrong about you being gay, I think he understands what you said pretty well.
