-
- I would like to suggest that Brad's posting makes considerably
- more sense (to me at least) in the context of some related threads
- that have been going on in soc.bi.
-
- (I realize the soc.motss regulars may be indifferent to this
- but it does provide some rational context.)
-
- An examination of the largely ignored later parts of his post
- suggests to me that Brad is not defending male cluelessness with
- respect to feminism (as the tone of some follow-ups seems to
- imply), but rather saying in effect: "Clueless exists" and
- a rational political program has to deal with it. (Using his
- own past as an example.)
-
- We in soc.bi have not yet acchived the remarkable level of
- elloquence and grace common to soc.motss discourse, but with
- your help and consideration we may yet attain it.
