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 > > >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. > > But what about the above?? > 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. > Ross M.
