They don't run out and build bombs capable of destryoing the earth 1000 times over the way men do in their civilized version of "my thingy is bigger than yours", "I'm the dominant buck, and I get to run the herd". ---------------------------------------- Why, you're right.....since women have never been in power, they haven't had the opportunity to create these silly, scary weapons. Can YOU guarantee that if a women gets in power SHE wouldn't press the button?? I didn't think so!!! So therefore, since we have a known now (men haven't blown up the planet yet) it may be better than the unknown (a women with her "emotion controlled" finger on the button). Living proof, due to sunny, that women should NOT be allowed in a position of power. And I always thought she was a feminist. And to think that the whole idea of world war III can be reduced to penis envy? My, god!! It's so simple and clear to me now...thank you sunny for giving me this insight...Being logical, I never would have figured it out for myself! It must take a women's intuition to have such impact! > Humans are NOT so > different from the other animals when it comes to mating instincts. Why, she's right again!! Just yesterday I saw two lions sitting down over supper discussing Hagle's Dialectic....what amazed me was that these wild beasts were so interested in the ideas of their potential mate, and were just as concerned as we are in the compatability of each other. Amazing, sunny, how you must have witnessed this too to make such a silly statement. > I'm honest to God scared shitless that > by the year 2000, there won't be any life on this planet, because some male > is going to "push the button" and nuke it all back to the stone age. And once again sunny proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that men are awful. Please see my first statement above. > I don't hate men. I hate the excessive dominance exhibited by some men in > some circumstances. What's this??? Sunny putting in qualifiers about only some men?? She must not be feeling well... > It is precisely the total polarization of the roles which is the problem. > Only by merging the roles more, can we achieve the necessary balance. And attitudes such as yours which has "proven" the entire male race to be responsible for all of our problems is really gonna help, huh? What made you hate those of the male gender so?? What allows you to generalize so? I hope you feel better soon..... Ross M. Greenberg @ NYU ----> allegra!cmcl2!acf4!greenber <----
