    Maybe it's a Seinfeldian corollary: a woman with man feet.

    She's a woman.

    However, her decision to "raise the roof" has convinced me that she is actually a Caucasian male who attended Duke University.

    I guess she'd have to do the following to be a woman: Wax the eyebrows. Apply some of the Queen's makeup collection from Covergirl, throw on a pair of Christian Siriano heels from Payless, shave the legs, wax any facial hair, put on matching Victoria Secret bra and panties, an Ann Taylor loft shirt and blouse and a bada bing.

    You've got a lady.

    Bonus points if she was willing to use chemicals to "relax" her hair or buy some hair extensions from India.

    Who knew having a vagina isn't enough? Le Sigh.

    The time-honored tests of seeing if she'll walk around a pile of clothes on the floor for a week or will stop to ask directions while driving would end the controversy.

    @scroll_lock:

    They should just check whether "she" leaves the toilet seat up after going to the bathroom. Thats the most time honored test of all.

    (Is "Caster" a female name? Maybe they gave her a sexually ambiguous name like Jamie Lee Curtis to cover all their options.)

    @Big Poppa: I looked it up out of curiousity and in the English-speaking world, it is considered a boy's name. The name means "beaver" in Greek. (?!) I'm not making that up.

    But again, who knows what it means in South Africa or if it is a boy or girl's name there. It's irrelevant to her true gender anyway. You can't have a son, name him Betty, and thereby turn him into a daughter, or visa versa.

    @resipsaloquacious: When you say 'dutch oven' do you mean the lady version of dutch oven (I threw some chicken in the dutch oven and we had some friends over Friday night) or the man version (I let loose a huge fart in bed and pulled the covers over the head of my sleeping companion because it's funny).
