If you know how we men are going to respond already, why bother 
posting at all? Your stereotyping of men as oppressive creeps is as
unfair as any stereotype, whether you're talking about women, blacks,
Chicanos, Italian-Americans, Jews, or whatever. I demand the same
courtesy you demand as a human being: to be treated as an individual
with an individual's shortcomings and strengths, not as a cardboard
stereotype. What makes you think all feminists are women?

Please note that in the above passage you say "...THE MEN will ...
call me 'paranoid' ..." You don't say "some men," or "many men," or
even "most men." The implication is clearly that ALL men fit your
stereotype. If you intended to imply something else by this posting,
please let us know.
