- Here's a real mild one to get you warmed up, Th'ron. :)
- You just contradicted yourself. It's a fallacy, but they have a
- predisposition? Frankly, it doesn't matter whether the women in the
- books were raised to be more empathic or were born that way, the end
- result is the same. (Note I am speaking only to the books. I'm not
- about to dive into a real world discussion on this.)
- And the 'bad things' that come with the 'good things' of being a woman?
- Take a good look at Avril Bitra, Kylara...stereotypes of the 'bad things'
- if I ever saw them. Manipulative, possessive, jealous, envious, etc.
- Even Brekke is a nice mix -- empathic without the gumption to stick up
- for herself.
