- As a womyn, there are lots of instances that upset me too, D. Owen, that
- _do_ affect me personally. I'm sure that Andrea has had her share of
- instances too. What you may call "bitterness" might be another's reality.
- Why is it that the the actions that lead Andrea to writing what she does

- Like wimmin haven't been putting "clear thought" into THEIR goals
- and how best to achieve them!! You sound like _another_ man
- trying to tell wimmin what is _best_ for them, D. Owen. <YAWN>
