Trish clearly overstates her case, and seems to view men in a very
stereotypical way, but there is some truth in what she says.  If you
take ``all men are'' and replace it with ``there is a tendency for
many men to be'' you'll find a lot of insight in what she says,
mixed with no more falsehood than your average net submission.  On
the other hand, she seems to mistake her distillation of the
traditional male role for a generalizable fact--something many of
us (myself included) have condemned.

Thus I take what Trish says quite seriously, though more as a caricature
of the traditional male role than as a decsription of how men really
are.
