There's a woman I know that seriously hyperventilates when she's around too many women all at once. I find it hilarious as she describes her phobia - I've never met anyone so extreme. I joked with her today about how it must be divine that she has two sons and no daughters.

In some ways, I can identify with her. There's a certain disdain that I have towards large female gatherings. Sometimes it's more drama for your mama, and other times it's just way too much female energy for me to sustain. I do love my girlfriends, but I really think that we benefit from having opposite gender relationships. There are many reasons for which good opposite gender relationships (GOGR) go wrong, but I still advocate for them.

This doesn't excuse me from attending any bridal or baby showers that I'm invited to.
