I'm interested in getting at the truth, not finding fault.
You believe what you want. I kid her I think she's a man. I am now coming around to believing she is in fact female, as few men have a head that spins round like this.
In a while some trying times will come along and if you have to rely on your other half, a man with a brain and some idea of how to behave, is better than one without.
Later, everything you do in your leisure time, on holidays etc is with your partner. If he doesn't have something interesting to say and doesn't have decent manners, it will grate on you. And if your conversations don't interest you, it's a long, tedious life listening to his rude noises.
Calm down for feck sake, if you want to be a woman, you're a woman, all right. Why do you care what I think?
We are different, but you also have to consider being tolerant of women who are girly. Being equal is equality to be what we are and enjoy what we like, not to change and act like smelly men. If you want to sit about with men doing what they usually do when there are only other men around, go ahead. I don't and that's fine.
Of course I am happy you have freedom to do what you want with your life. Remember, I am older than you and my generation was the generation which made that possible, or rather which actually put it into effect. Even in my group of friends there are many, many firsts for women in this area. Working on teams with men, being one.
However, I think you spend more on shoes than I as I recall you have ginormous big feet. Shoes are not an interest of mine (I have what I need, if you know what I mean) and most are issue, not chosen. Makeup is not a waste of money, it's a vocation and a pleasure to all if tastefully applied. I would read House and Garden to see the pictures, but wouldn't buy it

I don't like spiders when they move, but I sometimes watch them and don't kill them. I would if I had to. It's just against my ethics to kill anything which doesn't need to be killed.
No, most of them respect women in their way and they don't let other guys disrespect women either. Of course that is the culture where I work, they are left in no doubt about what is expected. This may change, as I'm changing workplace this month and will be working in what is known locally as "Castle Greyskull" ...with the barbarian hordes. Let you know how that goes.
I think most women have come up against that. Are you sure you're a woman...? ...oh calm down...
It would be fair to say I prefer working with men apart from the harassment bit, they are quite practical and don't muck about workwise, are very much more direct, easy to get along with, they don't hold grudges or clique or make you go to Marks and Spencers all the time. Older men can be different, if there is a pack of them they whine like the worst women and everything annoys them. No offence to the old men.
Not taking sides, but you are touchy.
Of course I set you off...
