Rich, I think your interpretation of me (and Greg and Dick) is quite
unfair.  You assume we are "macho assholes" who are too insensitive
to know how our behavior effects women.  Well, I consider myself a
"liberated man."  I don't think the traditional male role works to
the benefit of men or women.  Ditto for the traditional female role.
That's one of the reasons I rejected those roles years ago.  I think
Greg and Dick are saying they did too.

Trish has decided the traditional role is not for her.  Great!  I
support that decision.  But instead of encouraging and supporting
men who have made the same decision, she lumps us into one heap,
and writes us all off.  That sucks.
