Damn, you're pretty cute. Anyways, I enjoy reading your philosophy of women. I took an English class last semester and I studied mostly American Literature from the 19th C. during of which women were locked away in their bedrooms and prescribed Dr. Weir Mitchell's Rest Cure mainly claimed for psychological difficulties after childbirth, but mainly just to get out of their's husband's hair for a while. This, in turn, made the women more crazy than she already was. The short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper", by Charlotte Perkins, is a great example of what the Rest Cure did to women of the late 19th Century.

Females also make excellent engineers.
I found this funny even though I'm one of those rare females who doesn't go for hundreds of handbags and shoes...

Nick, don't you think you're a bit old to be signing up for a new account as 'Danielle'?
Heh, but seriously, I've read 'The Yellow Wallpaper' too... My ex-ex-ex girlfriend used to see all kinds of freaky things in wallpaper patterns...
