------------------------------ This is just you trying to to be a clever "lobster", right? You don't actually believe my comments around the new book by Ariel Levy, "Female Chauvinist Pigs" - about women continuing to contort themselves into ever more twisted sexual knots to please men - was a plea for them to return to the kitchen, do you? Hope not. But this might be a good indication that the well has run dry on interesting and useful contributions and that it's time to move on to other subjects.
