Toni,

"Does that apply to our Queen as well, Is Mise?"

No, she is past child bearing age; didn't you know?

Foxy, just a quick response on your last paragraph; 'They should not be dictated to by society-as to how they must behave'. Do you realise the irony in that last comment? We as a society ARE being dictated to every minute of our lives. Why should women expect to be exempt.
Now to the rest of your response.
Your first paragraph implies that men are starting to change into something more effeminate and less masculine.
If this is the case, mores the pity, but I think that kind of person is more a male than a man.
Foxy, your next paragraph is more of the same theme in trying to make us believe that men are suddenly all lovey dovey and soft and cuddly creatures, and so on. Stop it. We must never stoop to such lows. Men MUST maintain there position and posture or the matrix which is humanity will fall into a critical mess. Do not comment on masculinity, your comments are without merit, just your opinion and those of your followers. 'Superman', yeah! sure! You are over-reaching when you make wild comments like that.
And for God's sake, what we definitely don't need is 'more discussion about the relationship between the sexes'. These forum discussions are already brain numbing, over and over. Enough already. I don't care about issues you describe. Women are so well represented EVERYWHERE, I'm sick of hearing about it.
Men and women SHOULD be treated differently because of their sex. What is wrong with you people? Oh here's a hint, because we ARE DIFFERENT. In every way. I don't know why I have to keep saying it, but I don't understand why women want to be men, sorry, males?
What you and your followers are demanding is a change of attitude to satisfy a very selfish group of women and a few moronic males.
I hope I can be bothered to keep explaining this topic before I have to run to the toilet and evacuate these emotionally, meaningless, socially debasing, regressive, attitudes I am hearing.

Foxy, I see your point. I'm though am much more concerned with diversity of opinion than physical characteristics and most of what gets passed off as diversity is strongly opposed to diversity of opinion.

I saw two Muslim women Captain & First officer, fly an A380. Why did they ? Because they had the brains to do it.
Same goes for any job, politics included.. Some people have this notion of quota. Why ? If a man does a better job than a woman or vice versa than give them the job. We've been waffling on about more women in Parliament. So what ? Isn't it at election time when everyone has the chance to convince the fence-sitting voters ?
Where I used to work they brought in more women for the sake of having more women. Efficiency did not benefit & costs increased as did the Facebook activities. There were times when people called my extension because the receptionist was not answering the phone because she was on facebook.
More women in any organisation is not a bad thing nor is it a good thing if proficiency suffers.
The quota arguments only keep those in whining positions whining for whining's sake.
It's a bit like SSM, now that it's in place the proponents are frantically seeking for a new subject to whine about & disrupt everything else for no good reason.
I suppose Parliament is as good a place as any to kick off the new challenge. If only it didn't cause the waste of so much needed funding.

//No, she is past child bearing age; didn't you know?//

Her reign commenced in 1952, when she was 25 years old.

Are you going to try and tell me that 25 is past child bearing age now?

It thought it was a pretty basic question, although I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that you're struggling with it: if women should be excluded from positions of power because PMT, why shouldn't the the Queen have been excluded?

Do you really believe that Her Majesty has not menstruated at any point during her 66 year reign? Because that's not how it works, Is Mise.

//why did you not choose to simply correct him by highlighting the name of the topic//

Because I was curious about his opinions.

//you should have pulled him up for going off topic.//

Why? I don't care if he goes off topic.

//Do you really expect me to believe that just one little chromosome, only a fraction over 2% could cause so much trouble in the world.//

No, you need the other 45 as well.

BTW, the Y chromosome isn't that big; it only contains about 1% of your DNA.
