Well, I`ve been quiet on the net for long enough - time for my
two cents worth.
Rich Rosen (accomplished orator that he is - and that is not a
sarcastic comment) has gone on at length about bigotry, stereotyping,
and choices regarding sexual preference. Although I agree with Rich on
most points, I fail to see what he is trying to say. His article seems
like a mere synopsis of the recent discussion: where's the subjective
comment? It seems to me that Alan is 100% right. Trish said some
things that were very bigoted (Trish, I`m not arguing with you-there
ARE a lot of asshole men out there, but if you have had exposure only
to them, I'm sorry for you. I must agree with Alan that it is very
unfair to generalize and stereotype all men (or even most men - do you
KNOW most men in the world?)). The point is that let's all of us steer
away from unfair, stereotypical comments and try and get rid of some of
the stress and strain between the sexes that this group is supposed to
help do.
Pardon my sentence structure it's 2:15 in the morning,
