It is not up to the man to know that the woman will obviously hate horror movies and be scared out of her wits. It is not up to the man to protect her from horror movies either. It is up to the person who hates horror movies to not end up seeing them if you really want to not see them. The question is, ``Why didn't those freaked out women do something else besides seeing this particular movie tonight?'' Perhaps they *like* being that frightened -- but if they don't then *they* and not their companions have made a mistake. -- Laura Creighton (note new address!) sun!l5!laura (that is ell-five, not fifteen) l5!laura@lll-crg.arpa
