I'm sick of agressive selfish women who can't communicate normally, but communicate instead by snapping and putting other people down; why do they have to try to be more macho than men ? (Obsessed by their families and soap operas) Mostly they want to create elaborate gardens. This is nowhere near ecological in my opinion , because perfectly adequate gardens already exist in nature and public parks and creating a garden uses a lot of resources and will need a lot of maintenance time in the future. Why does one demand 5 hours when everyone else manages with the traditional 4 ? By, by the time you have cleaned up after yourself and her kids and the will you just finish athis one last bit and this ... well you've done a whole days work.
