More to the article than she meant, I think.

There's a lot in Here that peaks my interest: that schools may be geared in such a way that favors one gender over the other; that 'learning disability' may often just mean the child isn't fitting the educational mold we expect them to; considering how culturally-influenced gender roles are, and whether they might not be hard-wired in some way. that's a lot to think about. Unfortunately, I can't take the time to think about it here at work and as I'm going to The Beach for the weekend this afternoon, probably won't be able to look at it until Monday or so...

-laughs- Yes, yes, you don't believe in the devil at all. I on the other hand do believe in his existence, but I'm not so sure he's the great orchestrator of evil he's made out to be. That, my thoughts on devil and his place in reality, is the other conversation. Whether or not you believe in him, and the why behind it, would be a third conversation. Amusingly, about religious subject matter.

Oh dear

I believe I misread you. I thought you were nitpicketly correcting my phrasing and therein changing the meaning. But yes, here we go again. :P*

-smiles- Oh no. I only ever speak for myself. If I ever think you mean something else, I'll be careful to ask you to clarify. After all, I wouldn't want someone else mangling my implications and meaning.

-laughs- It's a lie. I imagine I could hold my own in a fight.

Ha!
