Hi There.....
I posted to the net last week for the first time. I
am afraid I didn't post correctly, and didn't get
my mail address included correctly. I am still on
the edge of my seat awaiting all the information I
expected to receive from the men who seemed to know
so much more about women than the women themselves.
Actually, I expected to get some real scorchers(:-))
It's been a little slow around here and I expected
to liven things up for myself. I also thought that
if all those people were busy sending me flames in
the mail, it might keep them off the net for at
least a little while. (-:)) 
	Now for a topic that I haven't seen here....
(Watch me blow it!!!) I would be interested to know
peoples opinions on wheather or not they think we will
have sexual equality in their lifetimes.(On the job,   
at home, socially) 
	Things have been pointed out to me on this
very net, which indicate (TO ME) that it is very
unlikely that even the next generation will see it 
happen.... As a whole, people tend to balk at change,
and when it (THREATENS) to change the total order of
living (DESTROY MALE DOMINANCE).....Well you no longer
have someone just resisting, you end up with counter-
force..... 
	I have one other question I would like peoples
opinions on..... What should my feelings be towards the
people who won't accept equality.....I mean the ones who
think there is no reason for women to have an equal 
chance at life..... I already feel sorry for them (FOR
WHAT I!!!!!!! CONSIDER THEIR IGNORANCE) but at the same
time I still feel they have a right to their opinion. Am
I being a hypocrite for letting them have their views, or
does the fact that they won't accept my position of equality
make them not worthy of my approval..... I already have my
own thoughts on this subject.....I accept his right to his
opinion (I restated the preceeding just so I wouldn't be
misunderstood)..... I just wondered how others felt....

P.S. I don't think this is the particular net where I
requested and received some information, but I have tried
to send personal mail with no results.... I would like to
thank ""Laurinda"" for the reference she sent me...
