First, let me point out that Amero's response to you fulfilled
my predictions almost perfectly.

Second, reasoning with her is not possible. Countering her propaganda
is. IMHO, anti-male propaganda has reached such a level in our society
that we have now adapted to it, almost perfectly. We tolerate inferior
legal status, inferior medical care, and a vast variety of hate
propaganda, many of us without even realizing it.

Perhaps if you lost an excellent job opportunity to a thoroughly less
qualified person who just happened to be a "minority" woman, perhaps
if you were unfairly accused (by some wacko fellow employee) of sexual
harassment and had the full brunt of an ideologically driven star
chamber brought to bear on your life and livelihood, you'd appreciate
my motives more.

In conclusion, Michael...sure, we don't want to take ourselves
too seriously here. After all, this isn't Rwanda. And sure, I 
appreciate the generous spirit with which you made your post.

But make no mistake, gender feminists aren't going to stop the hate
propaganda just because you're nice to them, or just because you
ignore them.

Best regards, and happy holidays,

Jim
