In spite of being crushed by the weight of the dictionaries thrown
at me, I stand by my original posting. I think life would be boring.
Or oppressive. I don't think that the feminists really advocate a
non-sexist society--I think that they want a non-sexual society.

Why do I think this? Could be testosterone poisoning. Could be I'm a
macho asshole.  Could be some feminists ask for reverse
discrimination. Could be some feminists insist that there are no
intrinsic differences between men and women. Could be some feminists
insist that I am guilty for the sins of my forefathers. Could be I'm
tired of being told that I am contemptible *just* because I am male.

Fact is, women are doing to men what men have been doing to women
for years. And we men don't like it one little bit. 'Course, in my
view, that just brings the ladies down in the gutter where they say
we men have been all this time.

You know, Ross, this is fun!
