I wished I (emotionally) cried more often as it usually provides such an inevitable comfort/release when I am done that allows me to better work through the issue at hand.

I don't cry over pain - it is just not what my body needs.

Not a crier. When I'm hurt, I get mad. When I'm sad, I withdraw.

Oh brother! Thank you, Dr. Phil!

:D I'm joking.

Actually, I punch him where he got hurt and call him a wuss and tell him he gets no food until he can do better.

But I couldn't post that.

One of the topics I had considered was the male taboo of displaying emotion... how little boys are told not to cry. It always seemed strange to me, and yet "boys don't cry" is so ingrained into our culture. Boys are told to "toughen up." Why?

This gives me hope for the future.

Yikes, I thought I had it all set up for my next research paper. Research done, outline written.... and now I'm considering a topic change. Again, back to gender identity. I was going to do a paper on the repercussions of legalized prostitution. Now we're talking about gender, genetically speaking, chromosomal issues...

Maybe I can combine the topics. Transgendered prostitution?

Am I just a glutton for punishment

Transgendered prostitution could be interesting - especially looking at the clients. Are straight johns hiding their latent homosexuality? Are gay johns trying to combine their personal preference with a societal norm? Are transgendered prostitutes just cheaper and the johns are desperate and broke?

Could give you an excuse to interview Eddie Murphy!

How about a paper on "Lesbian Nazi Hookers Abducted by UFOs and Forced Into Weight Loss Programs"?
