Well said. Thank goodness for ladies like yourselves.

Life is becoming more and more awkward for us blokes. On the one hand, we are expected to be "new age men" and take over the babies nappies, ironing and jam tart making etc. We aren't supposed to mention the fact that ladies are female or in any way different - it's not allowed or we fear litigation from the PC brigade.

On the other hand, they still get miffed if a door isn't held open for them, we don't notice the slightly different shade of lipstick or new jumper they're wearing, or we don't always volunteer to do the dirty jobs such as car oil changes or unblock the sink, or we don't understand when "It just IS, alright".

We are supposed to behave like women but if you look at the average women's magazine, the "fantasy pictures" of men are still as hunky, rough and ready as they always were. So what DO women really want? Do they really know?
