Don't you think the ignorant could benefit from this environment? Are there worries about women-who-hate-men participating? Why? Are we afraid that we'll all be labelled women-who-hate-men? (I don't know, I think women-who-hate-men could use some encouragement, at least somedays. I get really tired of the nonsense cropping up in net.singles and net.women from men-who-really-seem-like-they-resent-women; maybe we should send in the shock troops.) Is it bad to be labelled a woman-who-hates-men ? Is it worse than being labelled a man-who-hates-women ? (probably, because it means she ain't goin' nowhere) Is there a way you can be, you know, a reasonably competent and successful professional woman, and avoid all resentment that could lead to a labelling of man-hater? (or "castrating bitch" if you prefer) Just felt like asking irresponsible questions, Lisa S.
