    Have you ever seen a women in rage? Maybe to protect her children, her
    family, her man? I've seen Iraqi women expressing such rage. I'm sure she'd tear
    the eyes out of the killers of her family. There are many aspects of the
    feminine missing from Mary and her cohorts. It's like having ones foot bound.
    Such confinement creates very strange distortions. Don't you think?

    Mark: Hi Marsha, I would not like to cross a woman and her child. A
    girlfriend of mine told me recently that her young son had told her that he would like
    to tear the eyes of his father out because he abandoned them when he was a
    baby and had had very little contact since. I was horrified, and said so. But i
    was immediately told that i would feel the same way if it were my child. And i
    believe i would too.

    Distortions?
    Certainly.
    What is a man? What is a woman? Are not these labels SOM convention to a very
    large extent? In the early history of New Orleans there were 9 different
    degrees of negro. Men and Women between the 9 were discouraged from mixing. Now
    that's a complex social construction of reality don't you feel?!

    All the best,
    Mark
