about your friend's response: besides any legitimate
argument--it's scary as crap. and crap can be mighty
scary :) no, i digress...
while i do give nurture a whole lot of my listening
time, so far i don't conclude that it carries most of
the responsibility. i still believe in some
instrinsic personality. and in some ways, i'm an
essentialist with regard to gender...but i say that
_very_ carefully.
