Greg, the point being made is that there ARE men out there who do that
kind of sh*t.  She didn't say that ALL men were like that; not all men
are.  Unfortunately, there are those who aren't like you.  I once worked
as a consultant for a small, all-male (except for me) consulting firm as a
programmer.  While we were on one site, the boss and his assistant were
insisting it was MY job to make coffee even though I was the only one not
drinking it!
