Where has the middle ground gone? ---- What is this middle ground? Does it consist of treating women like human beings and being considerate to them just as you would (or possibly wouldn't, in the case of some people) men *most of the time*, but slapping her around once in a while to show her that you're still a man (possibly because she wanted to watch something on TV while a football game is on)? /* ---------- */ The middle ground consists of men who treat women like human beings, but are not intolerant assholes who think that anyone who does not agree with them 100% is a barbarian.
