Could we maybe not make big overgeneralisations about what "men" think and return to the topic at hand? This mailing list shouldn't be about discrediting the intentions of feminists. Neither should it be about discrediting the intentions of men, or working on the assumption that somebody can't be both.<br>

Well I find that statement a bit inappropriate for a gender gap list, considering that i find the problem quite serious. And if men think that equality is about revenge, then I would say their falling into a cliche that has been used for years to discredit feminism.<br>
