These are general traits. They may have exceptions. To call them "just total lies" is a generalisation.

Some women are labeled with a familiar four letter word starting with the letter c. When you are trying to generalize a gender only the kind words are going to come out. Face it in reality some people are not going to like you[or me for that matter] and the c-word and the b-word will come ringing up in your mind, whether or not you verbally use the word is up to you. Some people are not friendly and others are. I come in contact with distraught souls almost everyday and I still greet them with a smile and a hello. Most of the time I am laughing to myself when they don't reply but they don't understand when I am skiing I say hi to everyone regardless of sex or appearance. Mud hens came to my thoughts today, they have a hard time doing one small lap while the hardcore's like myself do the entire course when we have the time. They don't understand that life is suppose to be painful at times.

Which legends have you been reading? Are all men kind? Isn't it a bit of a ridiculous over-generalisation to expect all women to be "kind"? What about the Legend of Baba Yaga? Does she fit your sterotype of appropriate "womanly" behavior?
"Baba Yaga"
"The "old woman" of autumn was called Baba by the Slavic inhabitants of eastern Europe, Boba by the Lithuanians. This seasonal divinity lived in the last sheaf of grain harvested in a year, and the woman who bound it would bear a child that year. Baba passed into Russian folk legend as the awesome Baba Yaga, a witchlike woman who rowed through the air in a mortar, using a pestle for her oar, sweeping the traces of her flight from the air with a broom.
A prototype of the fairytale witch, Baba Yaga lived deep in the forest and scared passersby to death just by appearing to them. She then devoured her victims, which is why her picket fence was topped with skulls. Behind this fierce legend looms the figure of the ancient birth-and-death goddess, one whose autumn death in the cornfield led to a new birth in spring".
HAHAHA! ZAP you're dead.

Was that a legend you wrote? I've never heard of such a story. Perhaps women have seen through you and are responding to you as such. I know I am.

i consider myself kind... unless i need to defend myself or my loved ones.
i think women have a wider spectrum. we can be the kindest or the meanest, we are kind and loving to our children, yet if someone threatens our kids or our well being--watch out!!

I think they're just not very kind to YOU, because you're a sexist jerk. You get what you give.
