I'm sorry to hear it.

Did I ever say that? How/when? In the emotional trauma game, aside from 
being raped (by a man), I'd say the most damage came from my mother: "you 
lazy slut...you don't have an ounce of femininity...What a nice boy, I 
wonder what he's doing with you...."

Could everyone please remember that I was originally responding to a post 
justifying the repression/subjugation of women under Islam???
