	But what is being objected to here?  ONE person's opinions about men
	(and in some other's letters, the fact that whole bunch of women
	didn't leap onto the bandwagon to defend men's feelings*).  Lissen,

	honeys, ya gotsta take care o yo own feelins yoseff.

Correct me if I misunderstand:  the point here is that men have to defend
themselves, as a class, from "reverse bigotry", with no help from women; and
likewise, women should not demand help from men when women are the target?
Well NO DEAL.  I intend to come to other groups' defense whenever I perceive
that they are getting rotten treatment, AND I EXPECT THE SAME FROM YOU, AND
I'LL GET ON YOUR CASE ABOUT IT.  So sign me, "My sister's keeper".

	   Now that NET WARS is over (I hope), let me say a few words about
	those famous words.  It sounds very easy to denounce "most men" as
	"insensitive, chauvanist assholes".  But did you really have an eye
	for the sensitive kind?  DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT IS A "SIGN"
	OF SENSITIVITY?  DID YOU DO ANYTHING TO ENCOURAGE OR SUPPORT THAT?

This guy Farzin Mokhtarian must be very smart -- he keeps saying things I
agree with!  (:-))
