To engage in actual debate as to the validity of your sister's idea would only
succeed in giving it even an ounce of validity, a value it does nothing to
deserve. However, if you are so intent on subduing the male gendre of our
species, why no make it manditory for all males, old and newborn, to submit
to partial lobotomy in order to curb their agressive Mr. Hydes'? But you might
say " This is not fair to the *vast majority* of men who have no violent
tendencies "?  Well goody for you, and you figured it out all by yourself,
just like " The Mature Adult-like Woman " I'm sure you think you are. Or maybe
you are afraid that with lobotomies men won't be able to do the only things
they are really good for ie: mowing the lawn, fixing the roof, sex, and
anything else that suits women. Well we all must set our priorities, I guess
this is one you will have to get through all by yourself. I have full
confidence in you that you can handle it.
     If this is an example of a liberated woman's beliefs ( which I'm sure it
isn't, I believe in thee idea and have no qualms with any of its proponents
my sister and mother inclusive ) then in the immortal words of Col. Sherman
T. Potter  (M*AS*H*)  " I'd just as soon chuck the whole kit and kabootle "
( or something to that effect ). And to the woman who had the ignorance and/or
stupidity to post her sister's idea I can only say " don't let your blood
control your brain "
