It takes two to tango ... but only one can lead.

SDAI, above, says that M and F are but two sides to the same coin, and I suppose that's not a bad way of looking at it, although it's hard to see "Both Sides Now."

However, it has been demonstratred fairly conclusively, I think, that women's brains and men's brains do not work in exactly the same ways. In some studies, for example, women do indeed seem to be better at multi-tasking than men. That may be true. My experience is that success is best guaranteed when I do one thing at a time. The genius - or devil - is in the details, and it is precisely these that I tend to overlook when I'm forced to multi-task.

Unfortunately, that is the case now, and I'll have to leave the rest unsaid for the time being save to note that I was raised by a working mom.

Cheers,
S
