If I hear or read something I don't find amusing or in fact find insulting, I'm not passive nor do I act like (in the word of the song) astupid girl' and agree so as not to offend and make myself less attractive to the male saying it.<br /> But when I am with close friends who do, do any of the above, I am often shocked esp. when they say the opposite when the male is absent and I find it difficult to know what to say to these females without looking petty.<br /> One example is when we were in a pool with a guy who has a skin disorder and he himself said he expected women to put up with it but he wouldn't put up with a women who had it and a
friend' in justification of his words said that `well men think differently I can understand that' and was totally saying it was ok to be like that.
Guess that is why she is an ex friend now - sadly after 20 years.
