I agree but would correct it to a straight guys definition of tolerable 
behavior as I extend this rule to persons I don't respect.I am however 
open to any suggestions anyone might have as to how to render this rule 
in a less masculinist manner.
Incidentally the pub I frequent, the Delta Tavern, is a working class pub 
with about 75% of the punters being Maori, 30-40% women, a smattering of 
rednecks, farmers and the occasional piece of white trash such as myself. 
Oddly we all seem to coexist with most conflict being intra rather than 
inter group. A big chunk of the people are unemployed and seem to have 
constructed meaning and purpose in their lives by joining gangs and 
adopting mannerisms and musical tastes derived from the US.
