As I'm sitting here, writing this, I'm thinking that some of my neighbors are completely insane. The female ones, at any rate. A young woman living next door is hurdling insults at some silent victim and slamming doors and stomping around. Another young woman who lives directly above me chain-smokes, screams at her boyfriend, and makes a horrible amount of racket around three in the morning. The guy who lives across the hall once apologized profusely beforehand about operating an electric drill, but I hardly heard it anyway.
Which brings me up to another thought. I'm all for feminism and all the whatnot that goes with it, but why do some people use the notion of equality as an excuse for behaving badly? Assertiveness and bad behavior are not the same things.
