My introduction was obviously misleading because everybody is focusing on that and not my question which was GENDER NEUTRAL.
My question was;- are the sexes destined to misunderstand and miscommunicate with each other or when miscommunication happens is it a convenient excuse used by one or the other?
For the record and to clear this up once and for all, since that experience I've had seven lovers and a baby daughter so as you can see it was a long time ago and it wasn't about a bruised ego but an act of extreme maliciousness which I admit, still has consequences. Shit does happen and it's best to let go but sometimes the shit sticks.
This is a religious and a philosophical thread and my question is philosophical and not to do with anything personal so I admit in making the initial mistake of including something personal in the introduction.
