Heh. Neither did I the first time. ... Now pretend you're a guy and read it again. Suddenly you can do no right. Everything is the man's fault--whether it's action or a lack of action. According to this document, you can't be a shy male sitting in the corner of a LUG. You have to be watching all the time for things that might be considered offensive to women. It's also uses aggressive (angry?) language. It's fun to read as a woman--at least I get a kick out of it and feel all empowered and bold and (yeah, like I need help with that).... I'll stop there for fear of starting another flamefest on this list about the very same document. emma PS I'll probably change my last name when I get married because Kent is way cooler than Hogbin. Not to mention I've always wanted to have a name that's 4+4+4 letters long. Hogbin's too long. -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
