Co., Everett, WA Lines: 21 The phrase is not an analogy but rather a colloquialism, it is not bound by semantic logic. It is merely a simple phrase to indicate that women do not need men. The key word now is need. I like the company of women, even the romantic and special company that a lover/partner provides, but I do not need women, I want them. (I'm amused at the word 'them' in the last sentence but let's not get into fantasies just yet) The wonderful thing about women's lib is that eventually we really will have a society of peers. Now let's get busy and get it done. Peter Barbee decvax-+-uw-beaver-+ ihnp4--+ allegra-+ ucbvax----lbl-csam-+--fluke!tron sun-+ ssc-vax-+
