As long as posters are thoughtful and civil on this thread

heheheh. Let me know when that starts.

Seriously, I expect the civility of any boxing ring... except that there's no Marquis of Queensberry here, no weight restrictions (hence some real lightweights - not to mention the makeweights) and some of us don' need no brass knuckles.

Why are men uncouth? Perhaps because such is expected, and (sensitive and noble beings that we are) hate to disappoint by removing a perceived reason for women to feel superior...

or perhaps not. But now you can wonder <g>

Hi Karen,

IMO, this type of inflammatory talk on a public forum has the potential for dire consequences.. It goes way beyond, "boys will be boys" locker room or male bonding stuff.
