I &was saying that I do not have a problem with women being included in &any group, excepting that I don't like women sports writers barging &into men's locker rooms. But doesn't a locker room count as "any group"? Are you making blanket statements and then making up exceptions? Didn't you just state in your last post that you were against *all* male-only groups [non-theraputic of course] as well as women-only? Yet here you are saying you fully support keeping male-only locker rooms. Here was this poor woman, trying to be true to what you said you believe in and now you knock her down for "barging into" a space which you said shouldn't exist to begin with. [See? I *do* read all of your articles!!!!] :) j- -- #*#*#*#*#*# Transient Creature of the Wide, Wild World #*#*#*#*#*#*#* "Time is not linear to me, it is a nebulous web of existential freedom."
