It's amazing how the best leaders in times of trouble are usually women.

Usually?????

Come on. You give three examples out of 6,000 years of recorded history.

Yes, women are sometimes the best leaders in times of trouble.

But you weaken your case when you overstate it so absurdly.

<<<Of course this totally upsets another myth, that of male domination and power. Sorry about upsetting another apple cart on you!>>>

Why was that posted to me? To imply that I have been railing, cartoon-like, against "male domination and power"? Please produce evidence. C'mon! Do it! Evidence! A link! You wouldn't be lying, would you? If you're not lying by insinuation again, you'll be able to produce evidence, right?!

Speaking of evidence, prevaricator joe-- come on, don't just evade and obfuscate and change the subject to new baseless insinuations; let's stick with the one below a little longer:

<<<It certainly does not need to be "sentient" or "truly alive" by E's
classification to be human. I guess "truly alive" to you
would be E burning her bra at a street party. But is that really sentient? >>>

You have quoted a phrase, "truly alive," as "E's classification." I challenge
you to produce any post of mine with that phrase or classification in it. I
have never used such a phrase or evoked such a classification in connection
with the abortion discussion, since it is obvious that all cells that aren't
dead, including plant cells and mouse cells and those constituting tumors, are
"truly alive."

This is a specific direct accusation that you have misquoted me, and an
objection to your doing so.

I believe you to be habitually dishonest. This is a chance to prove that in
this case, at least, your "quote" was not a fiction.

Show me where you got your quote or admit it wasn't a quote of me at all,
only a phrase it suited you to present as one.

Oh, by the way, my prediction came true! I said, when asking for substantiation of your insinuations, Sometimes he squirms, sometimes he tries to let the exposures of him pass unacknowledged, thinking no one will notice. He will wriggle and squirm and evade and then say something pathetic.

Message 15406743

And you did it! The weird "male domination and power" post you made to me was the pathetic evasion. You think you can just change the subject and no one will notice? Did it work when you accused X of posting sexist messages?

For your convenience, prevaricator joe, a reference list of a few recent insinuations for which we are awaiting evidence.

1) That a "classification" of "E's" is "truly alive" in connection with the abortion discussion.

2) That a click-to-support site url I posted was "a land swindle" and you were going to have your friend research it:
Message 15374678

3) That I have been engaged in a polemic re "male domination and power."

4) That Poet was involved in offshore trading.

Just a few....

I've read that men can go through certain phases and conclude later that they are heterosexual after all.

I hope your insomnia clears up. Relax about things.

Now Joe that's just silly. I don't mean to say that you can't find examples, because you have and I'm sure you could find some more. It is going over board to say "usually," however. IMO
