Hi Pete,
Let's see what I can do to further illuminate this situation.

Hi all
In the TROM manual Dennis states the following:
"As a male, he soon starts to get opposed to females, and vice-
versa. Very soon he is in a terrible state on the subject, for the
two genders are not intrinsically in opposition to each other. </p>
You end up with a classic case of cross-packaging. We find the male
desperately asserting his masculinity, while heavily suppressing
any feminine characteristics in his personality, and vice-versa for
the female. The whole subject soon takes on the quality of a
nightmare, and becomes one big unsolvable problem. And it stays
this way until the being regains his full freedom of choice to
occupy, at will, any one of the four classes available to him on
the subject".?
I am confused by the first sentence in the second paragraph. How is
this a classic case of Cross-Packaging?? it is a classic case of
compulsive games play but I don't see how it is cross packaging.
What I get out of the label of Cross-Packaging is that a male and
then too a female, may both have a games condition with the other/
opposite sex. Each would have one to several games conditions
towards the opposite sex, a games condition for several aspects of
the opposite sex. In other words a games condition concerning the
way the opposite sex talks, the way they act, the way they dress, the
things they like or dislike, the way they act or react to the
opposite sex, what is important and not important. I would then say
that between two opposite sex persons, they may both have these types
of opposed ways of looking at the other and when you have two
opposite sexes where each has their own personal opposed games
conditions towards the other, simply because the other is the
opposite sex then one viewing this set-up between the two will see a
'Cross-Packaging'.
That's what I get out of the characterization.
Anyone have an idea?
Sincerely
Pete
