"Men tend to be exclusionary...
My hypothesis is that smileys are exclusionary because you have to -be in the
club- to know them. Not knowing them marks a person as an inferior outsider."
I really like the smileys. I think they're fun and kind of
cute, and I would have associated them more with women than with men, simply
because they ARE cute (does this make me a gender bigot?).
