Thanks for the post, HP. I totally understand (as much as a mere man can) the fear and hatred you have for men. Men can be bad. And yes, I often wonder if my W is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy in her head, in which men just give up and turn into Vikings. I find it hard to imagine the Dalai Lama wearing an iron helmet with horns, slinging a woman over his shoulder as the village burns behind him, but perhaps she thinks this is ultimately possible.
As you recognize, this is not the core issue.
On another note, as of last Saturday, I've been a member on this site for a whole year! Happy anniversary to me.
