I do have a hard time believing you've been afraid to say something. ;)
there's a whole subset of people in the culture who've been socialized outside their gender. they get different rules. my mom, for instance, is not a Chick---she's gay, she changes her own oil, you get the picture. she mostly falls into the male social role, so upwards of 90 percent of the strife that involves her involves stupidity, not evil. (mostly because she can't control her temper and shut her mouth when she needs to, or she does too much for people who don't deserve it, and she doesn't realize it...etc)
my socialization is halfway, so i'm prone to being stupid AND evil. depending on the day, depending on how manly i'm feeling. my stupidity can be illustrated, for example, by the incident where i took a canoe out in the Keys ALONE and tipped the fucker over because i couldn't handle the waves. what about you?
