Just because rosiex found crying "sexism" >easier than answering Dwayne's criticisms doesn't make it so. No but it could be anyway. And I know it is. If what *really* happened was not an issue of sexism, how is that relevant? She came in here complaining of sexism and got rejected for that. I know how sexist the net is and don't appreciate people saying it's all in my head, or in someone elses. Perhaps there is no sexism on your mailing list. Perhaps Rosie is full of shit. I don't know and I don't care. It is about legitimising the complaint of sexism because I've seen it alot. What ends up happening is people end up writing the whole question off as contentless bullshit without an acutal considered reply. Not always, but ... now for example: >[several k. of radical post-structualist b.s. deleted for net's sake] >Tim J.Benham bentj93@cs.adfa.oz.au Engine.
