Hi John, 

First I want to tell you I was wrong about 'Art and Physics'.  Not a lot 
that's new, I've even read Vasari's 'Lives of the Artists, but I like the 
way he's weaving it together.

Never again will I accept how a man defines being 
a woman, which includes motherhood.

If you mean give birth to baby boys who grow up to be men, I
will agree, otherwise baloney on both counts.  Pure nonsense!

My statement stands:  Man can provide for a woman's life but he 
can never enter that life.   -   You seem more sensitive than most, but 
no way Jose...   

Men want to explain woman, but nope, not close and no cigar.
