BAKING

Women: an enjoyable culinary activity in which you make comfort food. quite good to do when upset.

Men: something women do that makes the kichen off limits but produces some killer junk food.

SCREWDRIVER:

Male...  One of a set that includes Phillips and straight-heads in various sizes, because there is a correct tool for every job.
Female... A tool in the junk drawer that's handy for chopping at ice and unlocking doors that your kid somehow locked.  Screws?  You use a butterknife for that, because there's never a screwdriver handy when you need one.

Hey, I'm a straight male who likes theatre, for most of the same reasons mentioned above.  As for the others, though...yeah, pretty much.
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

I'll admit that I can't stand most musicals, but I generally feel the same way about it.  I'm also not a "sit on the couch with a beer and watch the game" sort of guy, with a few exceptions.  So true about the makeup, though.

I can even deal with most musicals.  RENT was spectacular, Little Women was passable, The Lion King was stunning, and, though I've only listened to the soundtracks, Avenue Q and Spamalot seem hilarious.  Also, as a self professed sports fanatic, I'm just fine with sitting with my friends on the couch and watching a game.  Alcohol...probably only if we're losing.
