: I am a woman in Corporate America, and I AM NOT treated like a little girl. I may be harrassed, by men. (Comes with being attractive.)Even then NO MAN has ever stepped over the line with me. With the exception of one, that immediatly received a slap.

Qx: So what? Perhaps you're confusing being harrassed with being attractive.

: TWO: I was once a waitress. And, NO ONE, I REPEAT NO ONE EVER SLAPPED ME ON THE ASS. If they had, he would have lost those testes that you mentioned. I would still have my job, after the fact!!

Qx: Then you would be up on aggravated assault charges and maybe even convicted of a hate crime.

: THREE: WAKE UP!!! Equality is here. You just have to (excuse the pun)have the balls to reach out and grab it!

Qx: This is ironic here where Cindy tells us that equality is here and tells us her subjective story of only one incident of harassment. Well only one incident? Then maybe that means only one person ever found her to be attractive if we go by her logic.

Maybe she might even acknowledge that other women have been harassed in far more serious and consistent manner than she has ever been subjected to. Class consciousness is something Cindy doesn't take into account but then again that seems to show how narrowly focused her worldview is.

: FOUR: DEMEANING, You are the one DEMEANING to WOMEN. Just read over all the chauvenistic remarks in your reply to Mike.

Qx: I think you should point out what you feel EC stated that is demeaning to women. From what can be observed from your posting it appears that you are so biased in favour of corporatism that any percieved slight towards your favourite system is conveniently distorted and labelled as "male chauvinist."
