(47,992 posts)everyone knows that just about everyone else accepts the fact that each one of us is not perfect, mistakes and even bad intents are practically unavoidable. Something else that I hypothesize is pretty fundamentally feminine is a sense of how important small things are. That's important because it implies that my "small" mistakes/bad-intentions are just as significant, relative to their own negative effects, as most "big" mistakes/bad-intentions. There are no absolutes, so of course there are situations in which this is not true, but on an average it is a good starting point for most relationships, or at least I think it is, because it puts each of us at the same starting point and then what happens after that is up to those involved in the relationship.
