  And people wonder why women complain that the net is often a
misogynistic place... the smiley on your post suggests you meant
something in jest, but I can't see what it could be for the life of
me.
  Yes, she prematurely jumped to some rather far-reaching (and
erroneous) conclusions about me based on the use of a masculine
pronoun, but I can't say I don't understand why she would do so. Too
often use of the masculine generic in those situations indicates the
subconscious belief that women are incapable of having anything to do
with computers, yet again placing them in the different/other/marked
category. She's wrong about me, but the mistake is understandable. And
hey, I did after all screw up and call the original poster a "he" when
it was a she. But "feminazi bitch"? Puhleeze -- can we be a little
more misogynistic and insecure? Unless I'm misunderstanding your
post...
