Juulie, I'm not sticking up for anyone. I'm merely saying that getting worked up about this issue is the same as arguing over whether the 4th graders or the 5th graders won the snowball fight at recess.
Chuck, it IS sticking up for us. You are saying that there is absolutely no interest or meaning to a discussion of whether or not girls should be allowed to enter a dunk contest. That's treating us as equals, and that's way more dignity than muresan feels we deserve. In the end, women can argue and demonstrate and struggle for equality all we want to, but until there are a least a few men saying to other men that we are right, it is meaningless effort. I'm thanking you for being one of the "good guys."
