you're the one who said let's paint a picture about the real world, but does "all day long? 7 days a week" playing games exist in the real world to you? there wasn't any mention of those time frames in my posts as far as frequency in playing games are concerned. besides, my examples were doing the yard, household chores and running errands, do you do these all day long 7 days a week?. these are the stuff that often gets neglected when men starts to play those games.
let me ask the men here in Istorya on which they'll prefer doing: play a game on PS2 or do the chores?

Just because a person plays playstation at the age of 40, doesn't mean that fellow is immature.^^this line alone doesn't prove immaturity and it doesn't prove maturity as well..

if you're asking
me this question, maturity alone is not my "end all be all" in finalizing my decision in voting in an election. it's one of the characteristics I'd consider but I'd analyze the whole package carefully.

I'll be very happy to oblige. here's the study done by the World Health Organization dated December 2005 entitled "Suicide rates per 100 000 by country, year and *** (Table). click

does being looked-up to or gaining more respect from your children necessarily make one more mature over the other? and this helped you come up with conclusion that the fathers are more mature than the mothers in a family?

There is a higher level of expectation to men(as compared to women) to become a mature individual as they(or we) would eventually become the head of the family. For an instance, assuming both the man and the woman are doing or behaving the same, people would still see the woman as more mature than the man, that’s why I came up with the height example.
both are expected to be mature if they decide to get married in the first place. "putting food on the table", that's a man's responsibility. "looking after the kids", that's a woman's responsiblity. but that no longer holds true in this era. both are expected to "put food on the table and look after their kids" at the same time. to say that men are more mature in this scenario (marriage) compared to women or vice versa is highly debatable.

No one(including you) ever questioned her what she meant on her follow-up statement….. and nobody labeled her as a sexist, or perhaps no one said, she sounded like a sexist…
What’s wrong with this picture?

I hope this would help answer your question:
the meaning of the word sexist as defined by Dictionary.com:
sexist
adj : discriminatory on the basis of *** (usually said of men's attitude toward women)
n : a man with a chauvinistic belief in the inferiority of women
please enlighten me on whom you were referring to as
"No one(including you) ever questioned her what she meant on her follow-up statement….. and nobody labeled her as a sexist, or perhaps no one said, she sounded like a sexist…" and I'll get back to "her quote".
