On Women, Addendum

greenstormI am also less critical of women, or of her, and less likely to hold to my boundaries because I find myself thinking/acting as if she 'can't help it', as if some of the behaviours I have issues with are things I just have to live with in her where I wouldn't think to be okay with them on a male. I don't speak up about the behaviours.
I got carried away discussing how I was more critical and forgot to add how I was less so: it's an important point, and ties in, perhaps, to resentment that I've had to be unwomanly and not do these things and yet it's generally okay for her to do them. The double standard feels confining, or something.
Note that this is all very abstract and semi-guesswork at this point, with few clear examples remembered.
