But Spartacus, when women *are* honest and speak their minds, they are punished heavily for doing so. Men are threatened by forthright women. Go to a typical gathering - say at a church - and see how in a mixed group, the men do the talking and the women do the listening. And if a woman tries to join the discussion, her input is not welcomed; the men tend to close up and go elsewhere as she's considered way too brash. But with their girlfriends, women CAN speak their minds.

But Julia, you just confirmed what I said. This is how the species is wired. Women smile and pretend and act.

Women are covert. I have known women who were less covert and did fine. Some were/are very clear. But on the whole, women are wired exactly as you say.

"But I might not be welcomed!"

That. That is it. Precisely.
