[lit-ideas] Re: Sex Question

DR:

Is this a pattern in your lives?


Christ, I'd give anything to have some pattern to my life.
More pertinent to your question, I found Eric's comment salient (don't-cha just love that word?). I've long thought that women perceive themselves as existence itself, ergo any reply from the Mystical Body of Herself is to all existence. And I have no problem with that, being as I'm only an isolated, individual male type being still calling out in the night for Mama .

Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Sex Question
I have noted a gender or sex difference--I don't see how to untangle this, given that the subject is a kind of anonymous medium--in my e mail "inbox." When a group is consulted about an issue that seems pertinent to the group, either sex will hit "reply all." But in other instances--and I'm working on a definition of these--men will reply to the sender only, reasoning that no one wants to be bothered with too much e-mail, and women will reply to everyone, reasoning that this is an inclusive or bonding or friendly move.
You'll have guessed that I noticed the pattern because I'm sick of getting e-mail I don't want or need to read, "Well done, team," that sort of thing. "Thank you for hosting a fine evening," sent to everyone so that everyone knows you are a polite kind of person. 

Is this a pattern in your lives?
