Greenberg @ NYU ----> allegra!cmcl2!acf4!greenber <---- 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... Sunny -- {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!sun!sunny
