- Guess I was too abrupt.
- Since the problem (if there is one) exists for both men and women; it is not
- strictly a sexist issue, it's more of a humanist issue was what I should have
- said. Then, again, I think of reverse-sexism as a nonsense word. sexism is
- sexism regardless of who's getting hurt. And, if it's going both ways, it's
- not sexism at all...or at least it's a very wierd form of sexism.

- PS: The thought that you put at the bottom is nice, but the PC crowd will soon
- point out that even if you don't think *all* women are saints and *all* men
- evil, how come you expressed it that way? Are you trying to imply that women
- are better than men, but there are some exceptions?
