Re: Fwd: Male Bashing

That is your perception.  If you want to open your mind to another point =
of view, I would recommend a book called "The Myth of Male Power: Why Men =
are the Disposable Sex" by Warren Farrell.  I guess I will post this to =
the list for everyone's consideration.  I wouln't mind seeing a discussion =
opened on some of the issues raised.

"You have to be cynical, you have to question things.  You can't take =

payroll is she on? You find out the answers to those things, and then you =
start movin' fast and crooked.  You go through doorways sideways and low, =
at odd angles.  You look for the big lie, question everything."  Jim =
