I sent Ruthie Sheehan a little email (Apologizes to Freeper women - who we know are the only REAL women):
I'd say an apology is in order.
Or is it only men who need to take responsibility for their actions?
Are you "man enough" to apologize, Ruth?
I didn't think so.
Keep pretending you're "as good as a man" Ruth. Maybe if you say it enough times you'll fool yourself.
Meanwhile, me and the rest of the men have houses to build, cars to design, coal to dig out of the mines, telephone lines to repair and scientic inventions to make so you and the rest of the ladies can get together in nice warm houses and have your little feminist fantasies that you are a fraction of what a real man can be.
Never is it so clear the width of the gender gap until now. Thank you for exposing it for all to see.
See post 139 - a quick reply!
joking aside [fido969], and i'll presume you're joking too, i have nothing to apologize for. when i first wrote about the duke case, nearly a month ago now, my column focused on the issue at hand at that moment -- the "wall of silence" the prosecutors and police were coming up against. in that column, at several junctures, i pointed out that there was no way of any of us know ing what went on there, but the team members needed to cooperate with the police.
since then i wrote about duke's awareness of the team's pattern of behavior. and about the tide of mail i've received about the likeness between this case and tawana brawley's. did you read that one?
thanks for your note. i was having a rick martinez flashback.
