It was C&PD that really reinforced it though :)

LOTR looks fabby .... Peter Jackson has said he will
be trying to keep as close to the book as possible,
he will be dropping bits like Tom Bombadil, but hey,
that can only be a good thing :)
Maybe its the female hormones talking here, but I am
afraid I did not like Bad Taste, or Brain Dead ;)

You know, I didn't think "subservient" women existed
anymore, until I met Ians aunts, while we were trying
to arrange Ians dads funeral, these two biddies sat
down and said "We will just let the men folk deal
with everything, wont we Jenni, we women are just not
capable of dealing with important things....."
It was neither the time nor the place to correct them,
but I was, and still am, horrifed! They genuinely
beleived it!!

I dont know just how much I agree with what you have
said, however, it is blindingly obvious from the
members of this list alone, that something somewhere
does encourage men to get in with gadgets etc as
soon as possible, and women (in general!) to just
dismiss it as their menfolk being childish and wanting
toys, but to paraphrase, a measure of a mans success
is the number of toys he has!
