As I said I know the buff guy icons scared me away from someone who was pretty
nice aand to her they were just images to paly with. Funny had she been a art
major, it would have been different. So it is hard not to make comparsions
between oneself and some ideal image and not feel a little inadequate. Of
course biker posters did cheer me up but I was into the lifestyle (to use that
horrid them).

My 5 cents (inflation you know:)

Have Fun,
Sends Steve

P.S. I don't want to see a clean up place where lots of people after work run
and listen to people like Andrew DIce Clay. who is nauseaous and stupid. Both
mean and women...
Or the Santised work place means girlie pix all over someone's home.

I think it's a very responsible thing to do, to ask.

OTOH, I haven't got the foggiest what to say about it! Well, except that I 
do know a couple of men who have that concern (about men being treated as
objects).

I think one thing I read once kind of defines it: problems start when you
stop treating people as /people/. this includes yourself.
