>Oh I see, you don't understand sarcasm. My point was that the
only reason that women and minorities get special rights (which I am not
advocating) is because they have political correctness on their side.
Furthermore, the people who are concerned about "equality" such as women's
rights advocates, talk about nothing but gender related issues. For this
reason, women are not blending in with the crowd, but (in my experience)
men are tip-toeing around women in fear of offending them. Some women
(I am specifically using women as an example of a minority group, I am
quite aware of others that are worse off) play the role of the martyr for
power. That is what I meant when I said "femaleness".

course. I like being somewhere in the middle and when I crave more power,
I will have it.

Please don't refer to me as lil' darlin'. I don't think your sarcasm
is appropriate in this context. Or maybe your one of
*dose* men. ; >
