In some cultures a given behavior is classified as feminine, in another culture it is classified as masculine, and in yet another culture, it is not classified as either. Will you let yourself be defined by your culture? or will you be a self- defined, self motivated, self actualized individual, and enact the behavior which you feel is appropriate for you as an individual, and then accept the same from those around you, and together constitute a culture? Are we huwomyn or are we Devo? Sunny -- {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!sun!sunny (Ms. Sunny Kirsten)
