While there are women who have "monthly difficulties" thre are many more who
do not or who manage to be job effective regardless. 
The point I was trying to make is that the so called differences between 
men and women are really only differences between individuals. That is
all people men or women or whatever - (in case there is a group I missed)
develop their own uniquness (sp) and by and large sex has only a small
part in that development

Just that - If I am given a job to do I dont let anything short of mayhem
or a major mishap stop me from performing to the best of my abilities
and I think a lot of women (more than might be expected considering your
comments about PMS) approach their jobs the same way
I re-iterate:
All that is asked by most women I know is that men overlook the purely
physical differences, forget they exist for the purposes of conducting
business or producing profitable work.
