	Well I'm a male and I enjoyed Thendara House.  As I read the
    book I took no offense, but then maybe that was because the author
    wasn't talking about me.  Were you like one of the characters in
    the book?  Is that why you took offense?  I though that Zimmer wrote
    an excellent book portraying a clash of cultures.  Keep in mind that
    she isn't necessarily writing about our culture (although I'm not
    so sure it doesn't fit in many cases).  The plot was very well
    written and really made me think about culture clashes and looking
    beyond what most of us take for granted.  (and i'm not just refering
    to male-female relationships...  i'm refering to thousands of
    pseudo behaviors that society has created).  But I suppose that
    if you were preoccupied with worrying about your male ego, you
    might have missed that.
