Nature designed ‘play’ to help both males and females survive. In order to get us to play, nature makes it a pleasant experience. The majority of women find play and pleasure in babies, shopping bargains and clothes. The majority of men find play and pleasure in sex, gaming and sport.
Can this be changed, or is it just part of life?

my passions are martial arts, fitness in general, drinking, smoking, computer games, cars, films and music.
several of them conflict which is a pain in the ass - you have to sacrifice one for the other, that's the kick in the pants that is life though.

I think it would be sexist to say that we can't like what is associated with the other gender, as (in shopping for example)some men may enjoy shopping, but for things like electrical goods.
I know women that like D.I.Y which is considered very exclusive to men, but you have only got to look at things like men with earings and ponytails to women who are gamers and enjoy sports to see that anything we do is changeable reall.
I suppose it depends on if that person is a "sheep" or if they like to be different. It all depends on the individual in question wanting to break the mould a little bit and live life differently.
I see no reason why women could not like for example, sport. They can learn the rules just as well as men and those who are thicker set can do things like tackling in Rugby. The reason why it can be interchangeable is because men that are frailer than other men may not like sports and it must be the same for women/men wishing to participate in things associated with the other sex. I suppose the classic example is about a hundred years ago it would have seen stupid for women to be able to vote, which compares to the modern day example of women liking sports.
In this day and age society is obsessed with rights for both genders, so it seems very feasable that man/women are able to do this. It may depend on if you had an upbringing of say a single parent (of the appropriate gender to like that thing, e.g your a girl brought up by your dad who likes sport)
After all many men like shopping as they find it "relaxing" and there is no way that this is strange, simply because there shouldn't be any typical attributes of the man and women, equally these views conflict slightly with the ethical debates about is it right for men/women to change there reproductive organs, but equally this is another debate again and I shall not cover it.
So my overall view would be yes as it all really depends on the originality/ personality of the person or people in qusetion and in, say, another hundred years from now there will be another thing considered manly/womanish and then hundreds of years on from that it being abolished altogether. But none of us will see that day unless cryogenic freezing becomes readily available or there is an afterlife, but I won't ramble as that is another topic altogether.
Hope this helps.

I like be able to shop freely. I don't want to be dragged round shops. Not big on sport or babies.
Gaming is definately the best. :D

Must be changable. I like shopping. I know a fair few women who like sport. It all depends on the way you were brought up.
