THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN

March 18, 2026

by Rusty W. Mitchum

Several years ago, the men at our Church went to a fish fry and it was a “Men’s Only” affair. The Sunday before our pastor, Bro. Robbie Caldwell, was tellin’ the congregation about the fish fry and my wife, Janet, leaned over to me and said that she’d like to go to a fish fry. I asked her why she didn’t get a bunch of her women friends up and have one. She thought about it for a minute, and said that women really didn’t do fish fries as a group. They usually went to tea rooms, brunches, and stuff like that. Well, that got me to thinkin’ about some of the differences between women and men. You know, things that they like to do versus things men like to do, so I made a list of things. Now, I know there are a lot more things than I put on this list, but I got a good start anyway. Now I’m sure there are some men out there that aren’t this way, but most of them that I hang around with are.
