The word " Gender " relates to English Grammar, not people . People have, or belong to, a "sex" . Unless it"s different in the USA !! Anyway, " BEE " I am truly sorry if I have offended you , or any of your "sisters " -----It"s just that here in England , a "feminist" is usually a man-hating lesbian who wants all males to have their nuts chopped off at birth !! In fact, they are often more "Macho" than we English men are !! I fully agree that women should have the same "rights " as men when it comes to jobs, pay,career, promotion, etc., but I do NOT want to find myself in a situation where I have to say to a WOMAN ---" OK ! It"s your turn to crawl out there on your stomach, to the trenches of the Taliban rebels, and slit their throats, even though I realise that you are three months pregnant, and if you are captured ,you will be raped and tortured to death, but HEY !! That"s OK, because look !! --We"re all equal now !! "
   Is that the world you want to live in, Bee ??? I don"t !!
