     Actually, it was in response to an article which said that women should
give more consideration to men's problems, and gave only one example of
a "man's" problem:  the author apparently doesn't like being aroused by the
sight of a provocatively dressed woman in public.  I pointed out that
a lot of people don't have any problem with this kind of thing and that
if it *is* a problem, it's a 'people' problem, and not a 'man's' problem.
I also said that men's problems (those problems which only men have) are
trivial compared to women's problems.  
     This is the second time Ross has told us good things about the
original article, without ever including a word of it, of course.  I'm
beginning to wonder why.  Does anyone know how you can find out the
article number of the beginning of a discussion?
