I really think AL might have meant to use the word "intuition" instead of "common sense." I think it's a feeling, something you just know and don't necessarily know why it's true.
I think there is a difference far deeper than body, superficial behaviors and personality which differentiates a man from a woman. I think the way they process information is different, I feel certain there is a difference in minds. This is an intuition, so I won't provide any proof (although I could send a resumé of all my other intuitions that have been correct
)
Despite all of that, I really, really, really, really believe that any female who knows herself, for example, as deeply as I know myself, would never take issue with this...issue. I know who I am, I know how I am, I know what statements apply to me and which ones don't. I like how I am in this area of my life, I like the different qualities I have and enjoyments I have that are considered feminine and I like to be considered feminine, this is how I am and I like it. Whatever enjoyments or qualities I may have that may be considered unfeminine, I can't even think of any off-hand, but there must be, but I simply don't think of them as being masculine, but rather as being a part of me and if I like them, I like them and I like that part of me. So what is there to get offended at when I read Steve's article? Nothing.
Get to know yourself.
