- This is fairly assinine. Women have only recently been allowed to become
- college professors. Do you consider any female professor to really be a
- man?

-
- What "natural" difference exists between a man and a woman that would

-
- Are you saying that the church has assigned the "post" of *breeder* to
- woman? "Woman have babies and men run everything else - where's the
- discrimanation?"

-
- Sometimes the only way to get through to an oppressor is to oppress them.
- That's the golden rule, isn't it? The Pope treats certain people a
- certain way, he must expect to be treated that way back.
