Women(other words for) 1) baggage 2) gold digger 3) weaker vessal This is a 'modern' thesaurus, there were other words to but I cannot remember them. There just as degrading. Personnally I got a laugh out of how ridiculous these terms were. I mentioned them to my girlfreind and she laughed also, I mentioned it to my sister and mother and they got pissed. What do women think about this? Phil
