Women, I feel I can say this authoritatively1, especially at Barnard where they can't hear us, what am I talking about? They professionally can't hear us. Women are better at acting2 than men. Why? Because we have to be, successfull convincing someone bigger than you are of something he doesn't want to know is a survival skill, this is how women have survived through the millennia3. Pretending is not just play. Pretending is imagined possibility. Pretending or acting is a very valuable life skill and we all do it. All the time, we don't want to be caught doing it but nevertheless it's part of the adaptations of our species, we change who we are to fit the exigencies4 of our time, and not just strategicaly, or to our own advantage, sometimes sympathetically, without our even knowing it for the betterment of the whole group.
