Jacked from squireliz - the sort of quiz meme i find very difficult to resist:

You scored as Neither. You think neither like a man or a woman. What you are you may decide for yourself. Most people will consider you strange, Alien, weird or funny. You are probably quite interesting. </td> Neither 50% Male 50% Female 46% Either 46% Should you be MALE or FEMALE?*new-version* created with QuizFarm.com

i like these too but the questions are ...arrrgh. me personally i think of myself and everyone else as both. i think gender is a bogus social construction. people are people, man. there's a lot of variation there.

Oh yes, the questions are definitely of the Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps variety; but i'm often amused to see how well these sorts of things match up with my actual sense of self.

And i don't know about you, but in my experience, i have observed that men, at least, tend to behave in certain ways (leaving aside the question of whether that behaviour is based on nature and/or nurture): failing to attempt empathy; trivialising other people's feelings; having double standards with regards to their own behaviour versus the behaviour of their partner(s); etc. Whilst i certainly know a number of men who aren't like this, the majority of men i have encountered over the course of my life are. *shrug*
