Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Bert-Man,
IMO I 'think' women as a whole enjoy looking their best. I also 'think' they are as much at fault for their style of attire, attitude and physical appearance as men are, if not more so. I mean basics are basics and lets face it, attracting a mate so you can procreate is about as 'basic' as it gets. And like it or not, we are animals, just like the rest of the creatures of the earth and we march to the same basic requirements as the rest of them. We may be able to rationalize what we do, but that doesn't mean we rise very far above those basic needs. Women like to look good and men like to look at them. You can fancy it up all you want, but that's the bottom line.. that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Run that one past your wife and see what she says,
Yes we are all animals at heart and have base desires but as previously mentioned ripping the cloths off every woman that took your fancy is a no no
Doing the same thing inside your head is not much better than doing it in reality and makes it very difficult to treat that person as an equal or think of them as anything other than a sex doll.
That attitude is a big problem with women in the services.
We had a major enquirey about sexual assult in the services and they could not find a woman who had not been gang raped by her fellow service people at some time in their service career.
Even worse this was the same regardless of their ranks and was just as prevelent among CO's , the very group supposedly picked & trained to suppress emotions & always make rational decisions.
Then we get modern things like revenge porn, 97% of it is ex-boyfriends posting revealing images of their ex- girlfriends and in many cases the girls were badgered and harassed into posting the images in the first place.
A womans maternal instinct is a lot stronger than a mans ( scientifically proven dozens of times ) but because we ended up in a partiarchial society ( this is not natural by the way ) women are forced to surpress their desires lest they become loose, bicycles, truck tyres, sluts or whores while the same actions of a male make him a stud.
Worse still is women feel they should go along branding fellow women this way, bad enough that men do it.
The only derogitory term ( apart from rapist ) applied to males in a nob ( door knob- any one can have a turn ) and that is just about unique to women.
Now if women really got off on mens bodies, the internet would be awash with images of mens bodies, but it is not.
A survey done a while back on naked bodies images on the web came up with 82% women & 18 % men and of the mens images 95 % were on gay web sites

So yes there are base instincts but they are nowhere near as strong and "natural" as one would think.
They have been culturally manipulated for thousands of years to enforce patrichary and surpress matriarchy lest the women rise up and run things.
Look at Scandanavia, a substantial difference to USA or even Aust culture because women were considered as equals right from the start.
Patriarchial societies went as far as to go to war with Matriarchial societies to wipe them out lest they challenge the "natural order" .
