Not unless the guy we both have in mind had a brain transplant.

Jeez, I thought there was nothing hidden about Mr. Coleman's email,
and there's little wrong in being personal.

OTOH, he makes many assumptions, gross generalities, absolute statements
and errors of reasoning.  In fact, I think he makes the same mistakes
he accuses women of making.  But what's a bit of projection between
friends? ;)

But before you all lump me into the category of post-feminist wimp,
there's an essential kernel of truth in his words: women are human
beings not angels, and we shouldn't allow ourselves to imagine either
genders comes with intrinsic moral superiority, no matter what our
mothers may have worked so hard to instill in us.  After all, rolling
around in the muck of passion is (or should be) an equal opportunity
sport.

The bottom line, is that moral superiority basically boils down to a
chain of rationalizations that allow one to judge others unacceptable,
and it's a fact of life no one can ever truly love what they find
unacceptable.
