But you have not affected me in a way that I feel verbal abuse is
necessary. It seems a bit unrealistic to fight with you about a personal
issue. If you would like, however, I would
be happy to offend you. Why don't you tell me something about
how you use your "maleness" as a device of empowerment? Perhaps you are
a "slave" who derives confidence by degrading your master. Come on Tim,
I'm dying to know about what a stud you are.
