Triteness

So, something came up in class tonight about the age old argument of a how a man reacts to a situation compared to how a woman reacts to a situation. (vague, I know - hold on) It was said that, for the most part, men are more argumentative than women. Men are willing to have an oratorical battle and get all up in each others faces and women are more prone to stay quiet and (this is what got me interested) go home and write about their arguments. Now, it was said that usually these written arguments are said very well and blah, blah...but does this make me some sort of cliché? I mean, this seemed to speak to me. I know that in class I have this so-called terrible tendency to stay quiet and then I just love to go off and write about it. Hell, it is what I am doing at this very moment. I didn't sit in class and talk about what I am typing write now, I waited. Ugh!! And here I was thinking that I was some kind of special for being able to somehow communicate what I was feeling - even if maybe it came out too late. So, what? Now I know that this is some sort of standard practice among women? Well that is kind of putting all women in a stereotype, which frustrates me also about all of this. But....hmm lost my train of thought. I mean, I suppose I am just being selfish about this whole situation, this was supposed to be my thing. Sure, I know others did it, but... and it is not like I really have some desire to start some oratorical firework display in class next week to prove a point, I just feel exposed on some level. Then again it could be something good. That my efforts and abilities do not go on unnoticed and I am not trying to turn this into some kind of feminist argument - at all. That is not my point, like I said I am being completely selfish in this situation. How the hell do I fit in, do I stand out after this method of letting out feelings in writing and blah, blah was already on display?? I do not think I am explaining this properly at the moment, maybe, because I am too close to the situation. I might think about it more "objectively" later on and sort through it all again, but for now...Devo studiare Italiano! :)
