I'd be flaming too, and *I'm* certainly not a man-hater; I just think that it's appropriate to flame people who make sexist remarks - sort of doing my part to advance the cause of sexual equality. And Lisa - it's also kind of rude and irrational to put nasty words like "militant man-haters" in my mouth. Could you try to avoid it in the future?
