LOL That's hilarious. Even with your cast suggestions, it's so hard to picture them all in the opposite gender. But, damn, their attitudes really would be about the same, and I love the synchronization of House and Wilson's cycles. I'm not sure if it's some kind of scientific fact (never checked), but I've found it to be true. Happened with my sister growing up, and my college roommate.

It would be very interesting to see how a female House got along in the world. My suspicion is that she'd get away with a lot less.

Or maybe not. thedeadparrot has a great fic The One Where House Has Always Been a Woman. It doesn't go into the professional side, but it's pretty damn amazing.

Or maybe more, but differently. I see her as being much more deviously manipulative, because that strikes me as how she would've gotten things out of her dad growing up. Society seems to do pretty well teaching guys to be demanding and up-front and confrontational and then teaching girls to manipulate. I can imagine House as the head of the gossip market, a master blackmailer (both like on the show), and a total flirt who is more subtle about getting everybody to giver her what she wants.

Very... Amber-like?

Heh. I actually thought Amber was her own kind of awesome, not "House in a skirt," but the differences between her aggression and House's are no doubt in part due to societal influences on gender-appropriate behavior.

Menopause has real, serious effects on women... and House would milk it as much as possible! :D Thanks.

LOL!

House in menopause would be hilarious - especially if he really did get mood swings and nobody believed he wasn't putting them on...

It could definitely turn into a "boy who cried wolf" scenario. Heh. *hugs*
