[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, ignore the haters.  We all have met women like this, it spans cultures but agree is more prevalent in more patriarchal cultures.  It just so happens I had similar experiences with a Latina and an Indian woman.

I would attend some but not all of the dinners.  Start fading away and eventually the husbands will start to socialize without you.

Ding ding ding ding!

God, I remember even saying "I get along better with guys" and whatnot to try to show people that my identity was "cool" when I was in my late teens- meaning the message we all get and perpetuate is that male is good, females are "catty and dramatic" (as if dude's can't get to be both of those things- ever spend time in a college frat house?!), I cringe when I think of that now. The reality was that I got along swimmingly with BOTH men and women but somehow that doesn't convey cool as much. Glad I figured that out by early 20s and could proudly say that I love being part of a circle of strong, smart, kind women just as much as being "a guys gal"
