No worries, Brother, it's all good!! I feel better having said something about it, and I really appreciate your kind and respectful response. I'm also glad you understand what I meant about the stereotypes. I would have reacted the same way if it had been about women only caring about shopping and hairstyles and being bubble headed. I feel we are making great progress in getting rid of the gender stereotypes overall, but there's still a long way to go.
No need to apologize, or censor yourself in the future. These threads just provide food for thought and discussion for us all, and your lighthearted intent was clear.
But I do appreciate your kindness and understanding. It's folks like you, that care about the feelings and lives of others, that keeps me coming back again and again to this wonderful gathering place.
Thanks for being You!
Love to all

i was done in a light hearted manner. i definitely dont mean to reinforce gender stereotypes and if it made u uncomfortable i apologize. and yes we are subject to stereotypes all the time. racial stereotyping, religious,gender, u name it we have it. it was more of a statement about me personally as i admit i can be very very dense at times and oblivious to stuff that is hitting me in the face. but i'll be more sensitive in the future as my goal is to make no one uncomfortable .
