You think I really believe women are the "weaker" sex? This is what I've heard my entire life; I've heard it from my parents almost daily. To me, it doesn't cut butter. The validity of the whole "weaker sex" idea amounts to what I did first when I got out of bed today (remember that awful dinner I had?). I'm not stating my own "twisted definition" there, it's my paraphrasing of what I've observed to be a popular attitude. I always write from experiences more than anything else (nobody knows my experiences better than I do). This is my experience, and if it isn't yours, then I bow my head in shame. You've lived a nicer life. Besides, what's the crime in being a "self-professed" non-sexist? I need someone to tell me I'm not a sexist? If I was out for mob approval, I'd be a much more popular guy, a "cool" guy, as they say. It's juvenile, teeny-bopper rubbish. It's not as though I don't have reason to think I'm a non-sexist; I'm certain that my good friend Esther thinks so, and that's pretty much all the approval I need. -- The Insolent Human Toxin, Curry Bucket DeadHeads' Delight 0.5.0, the parody of Drug Wars Free d/l at www.geocities.com/currybucket
