Michael, I agree that you and I have exchanged a number of cordial, informative posts. On the other hand, I did not appreciate nor enjoy the post in which you referred to certain unspecified men on the thread as women "wannabes", an unwarranted, and false, slur.

>>>>>While there may have been only 11 "women" posting during the specified period, there were a goodly number of others in the "wannabe" camp.<<<<<

Nor did I appreciate your allegation that there was A women's line of thinking, and woe to any male who doesn't kow-tow to it: why not give examples?

>>>>>I view this as a stronghold of women. While there are spirited debates galore on some subjects, woe is any male here who doesn't cow to the woman's line of thinking of ANY subject relating to women.<<<<<

Nor did I appreciate your assertion that anyone who "steps outside PC lines of interest to women on this thread is going to get hammered." Do you mean callling women stupid is merely "stepping outside PC lines of interest?

>>>>>I have been slightly amused by the recent reference to PC here and what seems to be a prevailing view that little of that exists on feelies. IMO, any poster who steps outside PC lines on issues of interest to women on this thread is going to get HAMMERED. And it won't be just women doing the hammering.<<<<<

You characterized E's argument on the last two humans on earth as "the only instance of unauthorized sister-speech" - I think that women and men here speak for themselves. I think what you really mean is that you liked E's argument, and not the other ones, but you don't realize that.

>>>>>So far, the only instance of unauthorized sister-speech I've seen was E's early stance on the perpetuation of humanity.<<<<<

And then you say that only one woman here has an interest in men who are not 100% cuddly, as if you had any idea what women here prefer.

>>>>>So far, I have noted only one woman here (hate to paint a bulls-eye by naming names) who perhaps has an interest in men who are not 100 percent cuddly. Actually, this probably not a fair comment -- it's possible many feelie women would be floored if their husband or boyfriend started posting here.<<<<<

You say there is plenty of male-bashing, but you offer no examples, wish you would.

>>>>>There is plenty of evidence (just in the past few weeks) of the male sex being stereotyped and trashed here. The type of comments that would not be tolerated for one second if referring to women.<<<<<

I asked why you didn't start a thread devoted to male interests because you said that "truly civilized discussions among just men or just women are the exception."

>>>>>I'm glad when there are men and women in any discussion but believe strongly that truly civilized discussions among just men or just women are the rule rather than the exception.<<<<<

Well, that's it for now. Gotta run.
