Yes. I have found that <generalization> men and women think about things
in different ways, probably due to differing life experiences (cf.
Monique's comment re: female getting weird email about her picture
showing she is too good for her boyfriend - how often would something
like that happen to a male?). </generalization>
There are differing life experiences, and both bring interesting
viewpoints into technical and non-technical circles.
BTW I like your George stories. Very funny.
