That is not true and is offensive. I made no attempt to extrapolate to all men. And the poster himself in a private email, and also on the list, said that the motive I had in fact attributed to him - that he felt in some way threatened - was correct, tho' I had got very wrong the way in which he felt threatened. Are you in fact feeling threatened? And is that why you alone have to attack so hard? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
