I reread that last post and the way I had tried to explain it, it sounded like Lee thought 'Vester was a skunk even after she had taken him in. I think Lee knows the difference between a cat and a skunk.

The instructor tried to explain the differences between the sexes last night by telling us what the effects testosterone has on the developing ebryonic and fetal brain. Physiologically, testosterone makes the male and female brains operate somewhat differently. He then proceeded to take a big step and explained that if you have a cat, you wouldn't expect it to act like a dog and visa versa, the analogy being that each sex has their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe I didn't understand him completely, but he then said that you can't treat them the same because they are inherently different. That sounds too harsh, maybe he was talking about expectations. I think the man took a large step out of his medical field and into sociology/anthropology. Leave that to us buddy boy.
