I have to agree with Andy. I am a male; even a sensitive one. But I don't 
believe most men are "monsters" any more than I believe most women are. The 
portrayal of the evil side of women doesn't take the form of a woman raping a 
man. Women express their nastiness in other ways.

I can't believe that this list has spent a LOT of time trying to pidgeonhole
men in general as being bad, insensitive, "monsters", etc (with the execptions
being the "sensitive men" of the list, or the "lesbians trapped in women's
bodies", who, BTW, use their assumed womanhood as their shield against the
criticism of males), and women as being somehow innately mature and sensitive
and loving.

Folks, this just ain't so. Wake up and smell the coffee. I first heard the line
"I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body" YEARS ago from a stand-up *comedian*.
It was funny, then. I'm aghast that so many people on this list took it
seriously enough to discuss it in depth.

And these last-gasp efforts to come to agreements that all men are monsters 
(except for the sensitive men/theoretical lesbians of the list, of course), and
people trying to show how sensitive they are by expressing their sensitive
reactions to MaaG is making this sensitive man want to throw up (discreetly, of
course, so as not to nauseate our more sensitive viewers).

I'll be deleting every message I get from RDT that has any of the following 
words in the title: Lesbian, Sensitive, MaaG. If ya'll are going to continue 
these threads, please at least give me the heads-up.
