Should I be surprised by these differing definitions? The inner feminist says no. Who comes up with these words, anyway? Must be viragos. Male viragos.

The second one defines me :)
Um, no. If you're going to claim the 2nd, you better also claim the 1st. Most of the women I know and love embody more of the 1st and/but always some of the second. So what if women are a little cranky sometimes? They have their reasons--man world reasons, and such.
Rhetoric. It can turn anything into anything ; )
