My main point is that I think that certain postings within this group seem to take men to task for each and every woe that has befallen this planet and the persons living thereon. I think that attitude stinks! Certainly there are a number of persons out there that are sexist. Some are men, some are women. The person who posted the initial information for this game has often posted items that were considered by me to be extremely sexist. Sexism is sexism, regardless of whether it comes in the male flavour or the female flavour. It still stinks. But what stinks more is the hypocrisy of many of our more militant feminists who think that making sexist comments regarding the attitudes that THEY have "perceived" will rectify the situation. The only thing that it does is probably piss off more people that are sitting on the fence. I'm not a fence sitter --- I actively work for women's rights in a variety of different capacities. And I think that if you review any and all of my postings in this group you'll find that I haven't been sexist (okay, a little bit too sarcastic, maybe....) in any of them. I am for equality. Not this attitude of knocking men continuously in the hope that the world will see how much better the world would be without "men" and putting women in their stead. As for your game, I can certainly appreciate your attitudes regarding one of your creations. However, my micro-flame had nothing to do with you, or the game. It merely was me expressing my aggravation towards someone that, I felt, posted something merely for its "aren't women really cool, aren't men just the pits" attitude. I apologize for any personal injury that you might have felt. Ross M. Greenberg @ NYU ----> allegra!cmcl2!acf4!greenber <----
