It's not just men, though. And, I've been around enough men that are complete babies and can't do crap for themselves and I'd take the tough guy who won't listen any day. Honestly, I've had both, and, not that I want a jackass that won't ever listen to anyone, but, I certainly would rather have that than a man (or woman) that takes ten tylenol a day for every little thing and completely breaks down with a paper cut. But, yeah, I know plenty of women that won't take their sick butts to the hospital, or won't stop baking that apple pie even after the cat nearly removes their arm. Actually, that last one is me. For Thanksgiving one year, I was in charge of baking three pies and I was rolling out a crust for the apple pie and (now, I don't even remember what happened!) I somehow managed to get involved in a skirmish with my cats. I know I heard something in the other room and had to investigate. I didn't have to have stitches, and, I didn't end up with scars, but, man, I'm a bleeder, BIG TIME. And, Justin got me from finger tip to shoulder. It wasn't pretty. But, I cleaned it up, with the help of my now ex-husband, and, wrapped myself in gauze from fingers to upper arm. I then proceeded to wear two gloves over my hand so that I could finish making the pies. Of course, I'm not only a bleeder, I'm a crier, so, I cried and shook the whole time. But, damn it, I was NOT going without those freakin' pies. Anyway, stubbornness really does know no gender. I'm glad your man is alright, though. even without the tylenol.
