    I just found it amusing that you were commenting in this conference
    although I do know it is not limited to just women......!!
107.7why hidden?ULTRA::GUGELliving in the presentFri Nov 07 1986 17:137
    Why is the base note set hidden?  I don't like it when things are
    set hidden and the moderators don't say why, but just that it's
    "being resolved offline".  Did the base note offend women?  Was it
    a "joke" in poor taste?  Was someone personally attacked?  At least
    give us the flavor or what's happening here.

107.8The only winners are those who forgive...IKE::BUCUVALASMon May 18 1987 13:5734
    Judging from the title "I am man, hear me bore." it is my perceprion
    that the note set which was hidden, was originally written by someone
    who, for what ever reason, is projecting her pain of, what
    may have been a very painful encounter with a member of the opposite
    sex, upon all men.
    
    This is not a wise thing to do. To carry pain with you is to hurt
    yourself on a constant basis. It colors your perception of reality
    by giving , not a rose colored pair of glasses, but ones through
    which all life seems foreboding and negative. 
    
    Addressed to the person who originally wrote 107.0: Don't do yourself
    such an incredible injustice. To say all men are boring (implying
    other negatives as well) is to accept its corllary, that all women
    are boring with all attendant negatives. This is not true. I am
    a man and I cherish women as the more compassionate of our genus.
    The nuurturing qualities which are necessary to the preservation
    of our race are to be found primarily in women. It is the men,
    historically, who have translated those nurturing desires to an
    outward expression of protectiveness. The less wise among men may
    deviate to violence, not understanding what they feel. 
    
    We ... all of us on this planet ..... are learning a new way of
    relating .... a new way of perceving ..... a new more philanthropic
    way to love. 
    
    To propagate the misconception that either sex is a this or a that
    is to hold our race back in its efforts to evolve to a higher life
    form.

107.9STUBBI::B_REINKEthe fire and the rose are oneMon May 18 1987 15:311
    107.8 Was a reaction to another conference which no longer exists.
107.10Stop the war, while we still can!IKE::BUCUVALASTue May 19 1987 09:2715
    .9 tells me that my opinion is a "reaction" to another conference.
    WHAT CONFERENCE? I am new to the notes file. I've only been aware
    of it for two months. Therefore it is not a reaction to another
    notefile....it IS a heartfelt, sincere opinion. I express sorrow
    that there is a human contingent on this planet that refuses to
    accept the team concept on a social level. 
    
    That team concept is  one of male/female pair-bonding. And I would
    like to know why peoplesee a "war" between the sexes? There is no war 
    but that which exists in our own minds. Isn't it bad enough that the 
    leaders of respective countries are acting like bullies, ready to 
    spend our life's bloodin their attempt at world hegemony? Why must the 
    individual man and woman act in a similar self-destructive manner?

I think she meant .0 was a reaction to another conference....

    Yes I did, my appologies....what I thought I wrote was
    107.8, that was a reaction....
107.13PAX NOBEMIKE::BUCUVALASTue May 19 1987 17:1715
    Yes ... true enough ..... I did experience an emotional ping when
    I saw the title. And I am sorry .9 for reacting to you.......that
    wasn't my intention. 
    
    .8 is .. really IS ... a heartfelt conviction ... more than an opinion.
    
    All I wish to demonstrate in this note is that there are men who
    do not fit into the socially accepted role model society has defined.
    And unfortunately, it is that segment of men that, many times, get
    lumps for what the other segment does.
    
    I really don't wish to beat a dead horse issue here .... so I end
    with VIVA LA'DIFFERANCE!
