I'm rather curious, having read a bit of your journal, what exactly goes into this intensely ambivalent relationship you seem to have with the mental construct of "Woman"....surely they can't all be carbon-copies of the same exact archetype, can they?
(And if the ones you've dealt with are, then I'm sure as hell staying away from 'em too...)
So are they high-maintenance, shallow, hyper-mundane, or what? I suppose that one could say most people (of either/all genders) have skewed habits/patterns that have been imprinted on them without resistance because they're unremarkable and don't take the trouble to clarify themselves to themselves, but that part seems more in the line of "normal" (i.e., unenlightened) vs. "eccentric"(self-aware) than any sex/gender dynamic.
And it shows a great deal of ill-concealed anxiety, too, even if you like to fool around with gender signifiers yourself. There's a reaction in there, and it seems odd in a person of your intellect and fineness of logic that it should be such a memetic monolith.
