Summary: 

Ellen:

I think you are doing a great disservice to the women on the net by
somehow associating a male friend offering to walk/escort a female
friend home with support of sexism.

I think you must be a fool! No matter what your opinion of the womens'
movement is/was how can you not be able to look around you and think
that a man offering to walk or escort a friend home from some late
nigt outing is less effective in preventing her assault than "doing
the dishes"??  I understand what you are saying.  But it doesn't make
sense.

Sorta like having a friend with a drinking problem, and rather
than offering to drive them home from a party, you let
them drive themselves home and start writing to your congressman
about the evils of liquor!

And, before your knee jerks, please be advised
that I am not associating a persons drinking problem with rape.
This is nothing more than a cute little analogy.  So flames trying
to tell me that rape is not the women's fault should be considered as
already received.

I highly doubt that Time Inc. they would make me their spokesperson.
