- Why, Jean, I'm surprised at you. Obviously women have been conditioned
- by the media and social pressures to be subordinate in all things and to
- sacrifice all to be cooperative and supportive and great communicators,
- and men have been conditioned to be evil, sexist, authoritative, selfish,
- brutish and competitive. And the problem is that all the positive things
- in men and the negative things in women are conditioned, while the negative
- things in men and the positive things in women are innate. At least that's
- what my PC dictionary says. That's why there are so many lecturers around
- doing the charitable work of straightening men out and helping them "get
- it" at absolutely no profit to themselves. And there are lots of people
- who suffer great pain all the time, but need other people to show them
- how unhappy they really are, because they they have this weird delusion
- that life and other people aren't really out to make their lives a living
- hell and aren't all evil.
-
- I personally have my head straight, and know the evil intentions of the
- Great Conspiracy against me. And if you disagree with anything I've said,
- then I'll know you're Evil, too.
-
- Hope this helps.
