Yeah, I've noticed something like this too: the dynamic in groups of women is often far different from what you find in groups of men. Mixed groups are different again, and in my experience, better. I dunno that it can be generalized into a broader principle, but anybody who thinks men and women aren't wired differently isn't paying attention. What I've observed in my working life, more specifically, is that women generally cannot work with a woman they personally dislike, but men seem able to pull together on whatever activity the group's working on regardless of personal feelings.
To put it another way, men compartmentalize their lives into categories like personal and professional and generally keep them separate; with women it's all personal and the group has to click socially first, regardless of whatever else might be going on. I concede this observation is completely unscientific and purely anecdotal, I really have no idea whether or not it's generally true, and I make no claims about one way being better than the other. It's just what I've noticed in my life, and I'd really like to see some sociologist or psychologist take a close scientific look at it.
And since the subject of PMS has been raised, and having just been through a week of it with the females in my household, I'd like to remark that PMS actually means Periodically Missing Sanity.

RE: Why can't women work
I once was fortunate (unfortunate)enough to witness a friend suffering from pms argue with her husband......
What I learned was that......men suffer alot for it.....I was stunned by the.....insiginificance of the topic that caused my friend to feel the need to argue to the death........
Having suffered pms I can tell you that on this side it doesn't feel insignificant. That to be riding an emotional roller coaster with no control is a very very horrible thing.
I firmly believe that the gov't of Canada should give us Canadian women access to free pamprin. It would serve for the benefit and wellbeing of the entire population....and may infact lower violent crimes against men.....poverty and shop aholic spending......and other crimes.

I couldn't agree with you more Twila...Mine has recently improved, thanks to a surgery in January, it used to be really bad
Until I retired, I worked with three of the worst "bitchy old women" you could ever meet.... and they all had dicks.
men like to pretend that they're all the type who say 'f you, what's for lunch' back-slapping, yuwk, yuwk, good ol' guys, but there's just as many petty, weinie guys out there as there are petty stupid women.
if you get a group of women together who can't work together look at the women you got working.
i've been on any number of work and school related projects with women and mixed groups and what i've found is it all depends on the person. not their sex. mature focused women get a job done and get it done well.
where in the hell would women be today if it wasn't for other women????????

Perhaps, but they are generally the new-breed, effeminate, 'metrosexuals'. :roll:
