P's Mothers

[Judy Panetta]

Yes, thank you for the lesson.

Now let me clarify...with respect to gender, isn't Pynchon even handed when
dealing with his characters? I don't see that his depiction of women is any
more or less severe than of men.

(Misanthrope meaning "man" in general terms inclusive of both sexes.)

misogynist is one who hates women, see that gyn in the middle, like
obgyn, i'm a gyny

Misanthopy is the atred or mistrust of humankind,see the man in the
middle, that's me in all my anthroplogical nakedness.

what is the word for one who hates men?

I don't know.

Al I know is I love woman, I love men, i love woman who love woman, who
love men who love men, who love women who love women who love men.
