...thank you!!!

I am involved in a *lot* of "New Age" type communities and I hear this crap all the freaking time from men who think they are "enlightened" and "sensitive". If anyone tries to challenge them on it, they get hostile and defensive and *smirk*. I sit there with my BP rising wanting to scream (and sometimes I do and then the fireworks start).

I am sending this article around.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Wow does it ever hit the nail on the head. Dang.
