I concur that many men are not simple, nor limited in their social response. I proclaim myself alert to social nuance, capable of navigating through complex social minefields of many sorts, and fully armed with a wide range of social responses. Possibly women are just more likely to want to directly assert their social position with other women (and vice versa), making it sometimes easier to just slip into a standard social role with the other gender -- but only superficially easier.
However, Mikey, I wish you could express your feelings about masculinity without getting Jung all over the carpet. 8-p
