As a male who occasionally contributes to the net, I felt several points
of a recent article required comment:

<<              I've been reading all these articles on sexism in the
	English language.  What strikes me is that the most prolific
	writers on the subject are male.  Why?
		I think you're all paranoid.  I'm very suspicious of
	any man that makes a point of being non-sexist.                 >>

Dear friend... In case you hadn't noticed, this net is composed largely
a male contributors. In whose mind does this paranoia really reside ?
If your suspicious nature places ugly thoughts into the minds of people
whom you don't really know, doesn't that say more about you than those
about whom you are writing ?
