I'm a year-rounder woman. It's great because it pretty much eliminates any moron from trying to pull the "I'm a big strong man" chestbeating **** on me. Ooh, you're so tough in your heated couch on wheels, come ride in an ice storm with me some time, big guy. We'll see how strong you are then. After all, a *girl* can do it, why can't you? *lol*
I wonder if the lower numbers for women are in part because they tend to end up with more of the child care responsibilities in a relationship, hoofing kids around and whatnot.
