Is this a new idea? You get the impression because it's a fact.
Men are built this way, it's the whole nature thing. But, some of us can
be "retaught" with newer, more updated ideas in our heads (on top of our
shoulders), but this is expensive and wasn't ok'd for the 2000 budget. So,
for the majority, the whole "pig" thing suits just fine.
But, in labeling like that, in such an extreme way, you'd get a pretty big
backlash. So, I guess we're back to square one.

I'm a big believer in the "whatever you want" concept. Want to be a big
sexist? Want to be a big bigot? Whatever. I'll expound on the subject at
great length, but do I really believe I can change anyone's opinion? Not
really...
