This is utter fantasy, and more than a little paranoid. Perhaps Mr
Turnbow believes that feminism equals man-bashing; perhaps he believes
this makes him "middle of the road"; perhaps he believes in Santa
Claus. Well and good. None of this has anything whatsoever to do with
soc.feminism, a group which has seen more (MANY more) anti-feminist
articles than pro-feminist ones. The only bashing has been in your
imagination, Mr Turnbow.

Some of us know better than to be so terrified by feminism. Guess
we've been "retrained", eh?
