    @melthough -- A Little Knee-Jerking Perhaps??

    If you are somehow referring to me with your "Femnazi Bitches" comment-- I'd like you to read anything you can ever find from me and let me know where I've ever advocated hitting anybody? Merely pointing out that women are not immune from painful blows and advocating that they should get to experience it once in their lives is not advocating violence against women.

    A story of my own growing up-- I was in Jr. High, whatever age that is, I've forgotten-- 11 maybe? Standing there on the playground (recess yard-- whatever you call it) minding my own business not bothering anybody when these two girls come running up and without any warning or provocation kicked me right in the nuts and ran away laughing. I don't know who they were, and don't really care, but I got the distinct impression they just wanted to see for themselves what happened if they kicked a guy in the nuts and picked me out of the blue for their experiment.

    So go ahead now and tell me again what it is I advocate.
