  78. ║                 I asked this question last year!                           ║
  79. ║                                                                            ║
  80. ║   Question:  What does being a woman mean or not mean to you?              ║
  81. ║                                                                            ║
  82. ║     Answer:  Being a woman means being a strong and very                   ║
  83. ║              flexible person. Flexible not only in the                     ║
  84. ║              physical sense but mostly in the emotional                    ║
  85. ║              sense.  I can be the caring wife and Mom.                     ║

  87. ║              family hurts.  Then I can be the one that                     ║
  88. ║              will fight like hell when a family member is                  ║

  91. ║                                                                            ║
  92. ║     Answer:   What a woman means to me is that I'm free to                 ║
  93. ║               express my emotions, and to have them, also,                 ║
  94. ║               as a matter of fact.  What it means not to                   ║
  95. ║               me is the loss of credibility BECAUSE I'm                    ║
  96. ║               capable of having (socially acceptably) and                  ║
