Ooh, are you gonna get flamed! Which will support your principal point. Which is at least partly valid. For example, I doubt that Cobalt would have vilified X if she had posted a post that said simply "men don't fight fair." In fact, she would probably have asked for it on a bumper sticker! But I find it worthwhile sticking around because there are women here who really know what they are talking about and post interesting points of view. And it's good for me to exchange views with women who, because they have never met me in person, haven't had the opportunity to find out for themselves that I am perfect and without flaw. It's good for me to have this moment of humility from time to time.

Michael, having never engaged in any male-bashing myself, and having never followed the kind of discussions you are alluding to, I cannot really comment on your points about the alleged "sisterhood." I would point out, however, that "girl talk" is a rather condescending term, and perhaps inappropriate for the thread, given the amount of time devoted to what you might call "boy topics" (gun ownership, for example).
