Oh, come now.  I never claimed ALL males are bad, only that there are some
severe problems with the bad side of some males.  I honestly don't hate males,
and in fact have more male friends than female.  Just because I got carried
away really putting down those who rape and dominate, doesn't mean I've
written-off half the race.  Again, I see I need to state that I always
judge individuals as individuals, but that when it comes to stereotypes,
(especially those encompassing half the race) one has to realize that
the larger the percentage of the population included in a stereotype, the
more exceptions to the rule of the stereotype must be expected.  Indeed,
women too have their bad side, and so do men their good side.  I only
addressed one combination of factors.  I'm sorry my wording was so poor
that there was so much misunderstanding.  If we could only all love
each other and all cooperate...
