There are certain character types that have emerged over time, but they sure as heck aren't set in stone.

There's no rule book to who we are.

Hey Kath, that describes me!

[Mamyalynne]

Have they let you out Theland?

[Theland]

Hey Mamya! I'm doing scientific research into oxygen assisted breathing :-)
Still in hospital. Had a lucky escape. Been treated with, amongst other things, a tight fitting face mask blowing pressured air and oxygen, literally breathing for me.
Very uncomfortable. But, a lifesaver!
Am just having some respite from it for a few hours.f

A breathing space, if you will.

[Theland]

Douglas, quite :-)

Theland - // Been treated with, amongst other things, a tight fitting face mask blowing pressured air and oxygen, literally breathing for me. //

My sympathies - as a severe aponea sufferer, I have to wear one of those every night, it's horrible, but better than the alternative - a potential heart attack in my sleep.

[Theland]

I feel very sorry for you Andy.
The mask is a like a medaevil torture.

When Amazon rules the world the gals will be unleashed.

Theland - // I feel very sorry for you Andy.

Thank you - your sympathy is returned in equal measure.

I can confirm, should your use extend, that you can develop more of a tolerence to the wearing of the mask that you would imagine in the early stages.

[Mamyalynne]

Didn't know you were on oxygen too Andy.

Hope you're home soon Theland.

If you want to be kind, caring and forgiving and the women in your life to be thugs, thats ok by me but I'll stat as I am, the archetyps of women, thanks vwry much.

Sorry, forgot to proof read before posting!

Why does it 'need to go', when there is some basis for it. We are, to some extent, controlled by our hormones. Which is why there are stereotypes of what males and females *should* be. That is not to say women can't be competitive or aggressive, and men gentle or emotional. Just be you, whatever that is.
As a female I'm happy to fit that archetype, as I like those characteristics in me.

Mamya - // Didn't know you were on oxygen too Andy. //

To be clear, my mask does not pump additional oxygen, but it does pump air at speed into my nose and mouth through a close face-mask which is a really unpleasant sensation, and it means I have to actually force myself to go to sleep, instead of simply falling asleep naturally, as I would without the mask on.

[andy-hughes]

kath - By definition, I don't think any archetype that insists that anyone 'must be' anything.

By definition, an archetype is a cultural adjective that has grown into notice through a number of individuals exhibiting the same set of behaviours.

That is organic cultural development, it is not consciously created, or decided by anyone, it simply grows naturally, and if the archetype ceases to be a common factor, it will disappear over time,

[Mamyalynne]

ah, a Cpap mask.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Maybe the three and a half thousand women in prison is the start of that trend

[andy-hughes]

Mamya - that's the one.

If you say ONLY women should be ... I'd agree. Bit more kindness and consideration all round would be no bad thing.
