Steven Maurer has posted an article in net.women that
I think needs to be cited as an example for those of you
here in net.singles who might be interested in what to
avoid saying to women if you want to impress them. 

I would say that, in general, one should avoid doing what
Steven did, which is to argue, rather bellicosely,
in a women's forum, that clitorectomies are no worse than
circumcision, and that these clitorectomies are justifiable
as tribal rituals for three reasons:

1. Men have to submit to circumcision-like rituals;
2. A clitorectomy won't wash off like war paint does;
3. Women don't need clitorises anyway.

If anybody wants to see Steve's article in its entirety,
I will cheerfully send you a copy.  As to my opinion of
it, let's just say that I will frisk Steven for bone knives
before I introduce him to anybody I might be dating.

Disgustedly and with much sarcasm,
