[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, no one's telling you that YOU can't do it.  We're just say that it's not something we'd choose to do.  I understand why that's such a problem for you.[/quote]

Because the idea that men and women are fundamentally differnt from one another and can't occupy the same social space in the same way is one of the root causes of keeping women down. [/quote]
So you are saying women have to force themselves to endure uncomfortable settings because....what? to make a point? to make you happy?[/quote]

I'm saying you are an adult who is responsible for harmonizing your ideals and your emotions. If you were "uncomfortable" being friends with someone of a different race I wouldn't say, "oh, well then, fine, just don't be open to friendships with people like that."  I would say get your head in gear and see the problems your attitude raises. The attitude, and your resulting emotional response, are under your control and you are responsible for clinging to the idea that women can't be on equal footing with men. [/quote]
Again, you are confusing friendship with absence of boundaries. I don't see any problems with my preference not to be alone in the house with other women's husbands when I don't really have to.  I also don't see how it violates any concepts of "equal footing". [/quote]
