- If a person, whether they be gender X or Y, to use equal variables,
- looks at you as a PERSON, then yes, they know you. Men and women are
- no more different from one another basically than Jane and Jill are to
- one another. If you THINK in the terms of how "women" and "men"
- behave, and think, you will most likely find yourself missing the real
- picture because of your reliance on stereotypes.
-
- Yes, society has pushed one gender in areas that it hasn't. And
- society has done a lot of other things, but if you bother to get PAST
- what society says and makes you do and get to know the *person*
- beneath regardless of gender, then you will get to *know* them.
