She wrote a book called <A HREF="http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=0670034665" REL="nofollow">Self-Made Man</A>, in which she describes her experience of going "undercover" as a man for a year and a half.<BR/><BR/>One of the things that really struck me was when she talked about how men don't apologize, about a myriad of things, the way women do. She said it was so liberating to just <I>be</I>... and not be sorry for it. <BR/><BR/>As for my own point of view... I'm not sure why there's always a "but". Perhaps because, as women in this day and age... we have to wear so many hats (career woman, sex goddess, mother etc.), we never feel like we can live up to everything that we've come to expect of ourselves.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800930933919453213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051733.post-1138399277744972472006-01-27T17:01:00.000-05:002006-01-27T17:01:00.000-05:00I agree with you very much my dear.

And plus, if e only ever said the good stuff we achieved, we'd give people a false impression of us? That we never make a mistake, or something?<BR/><BR/>But I know what you mean- what we should do is acknowledge the negative but focus most on the good.<BR/><BR/>[kisses]Dogearedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765730598721815896noreply@blogger.com
