Do you ever actually *read* anything Diana posts?  It seems she's become 
the list's surrogate for Everything That Bothers Us About Feminists.  In 
plain and simple fact, duh, Diana didn't say anything about a 
matriarchate.  Read it again.  She didn't say anything about a 
matriarchate.  Really.  And to think that she did *was* a bizarre leap -- 
and to answer her denial with the fact that she made a feminist crack 
about someone, now that's REALLY bizarre.  Enough, indeed.


Cheers,
David
