I am shocked and saddened by your language: "conniption fits" and
"'we don't need men at all'" feminists .... although perhaps I shouldn't
be. Your real feelings - those so pointedly surfacing in this message -
have really been felt (by me) in the tone of your xmca discussions.
Shocked that you have felt the need to post them here and saddened by your
anger. Those truly commited to an open and productive exchange of ideas
tend to manage to stay away from hurtful personal attacks and wrangle with
ideas rather than people. I am sorry that you and I have not been able to
do that. I imagine your ideas are well thought out and interesting. I
have difficulty hearing you.
In the hopes of a open exchange of ideas that leaves personal attacks
elsewhere
