- First of all, I consider your attempted discreditation of the Men's
- Movement's defence of male sexuality to be somewhat counterproductive.
- Indeed, if I wanted to use a similar tactic, I could categorise your
- remarks as "a part of the backlash against the Men's Movement". Even
- so, my point is that people should try to solve the problems which they
- consider important, rather than demeaning other people's problems by
- calling them a "backlash" against their own particular concerns.
-
- Second, I take a certain amount of umbrage to your parenthetical question
- of "whatever that (male sexuality) is". Wouldn't you feel offended if
- I were to summarily dismiss any sort of analysis of female sexuality by
- saying "whatever that is"? Considering this, the fact that men and women
- so often misunderstand each other's sexuality, should be cause for further
- *non-judgemental* analysis, rather than just giving up and seeming to not
- care.
