The only thing sad about women 40 and over.......is in just a few years past that they go through the change.........then they get bitchy all over again! They only have a few years of their life that they are normal. Then agter the change they start getting the deep voice and black whiskers on their chins......dammit. As for men........well.......they are pretty much pricks their whole life..........so my point is........women win again.
Wow, Gumby! Who do you know like that?? The only reason women's voices change is if they smoke. Whiskers? N.o. Plus, if I may presume to enlighten you, the "change" stops PMS, FYI. The mood swings are much less pronounced.
So, live and learn from one who is such a woman and knows many more of us that are playing tennis, singing in barbershop harmony, activists, artists, volunteers, etc., etc. We now have the time constraints removed that we used to have when raising children.
The original piece that I saw of this thread was by Andy Rooney and it was about women much older than 40. It was about women who were more his contemporaries (he must be close to 70).
I also take exception to your statement about men. I know some really fantastic men personally and admire many more from afar, such as on this board.
Cheers!
