There is a case for saying women get sick more often (I think I've seen stats for this but can't remember where) but less seriously and men less often but worse, and thus we get a rep for being cry babies.
(, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 10:28, Reply)
It was based on the idea, that women go to the doc/take time off at the first sniffle, and thus get better far quicker, where as men soldier on until they are pretty much dead before admitting it and then, begrudgingly, take time off.
Women assume that men are only as sick as they would be if they took time off and thus judge men to be making a meal of it, when actually they are sicker, al be it through their own stubborn stupidity.
Not sure how true this is, but it's an interesting perspective.
Kinda like how women are the 'safest drivers' because (allegedly) they have lots of little bumps and scraps which mean very little insurance-wise but are rather less likely to have big massive accidents like men do(again allegedly).

I was in the pub in Aldgate and a random pub mental sat on the next table and tried to join in the conversation. He was a potato faced and plainly very simple fellow and I’m ashamed to admit I mocked him openly.

but you would think that on a professional forum people would think twice about what they sent out in e-mails to hundreds of strangers.
I just tried to post a technical question on an e-mail list and for some reason the text of my message didn't get sent. I realised this after getting 2 responses.
One just said "???????" and the other said "What is your problem?"
Now, I think the second reply actually meant "What is the problem you are having as your message header simply implied that you were experiencing some kind of problem", but why don't people think about what they write as simply getting a message from a stranger saying "what is your problem" comes across as a little bit offensive.
