What do you think about the organization called "REAL Women?" They seem to
share many of your values. These ladies have taken it upon themselves to
define for *all* women who is a REAL woman and who is not. Am I to take
exception to that?

I'm of the opinion that if women can define a REAL woman, then women can
also define what is a REAL man. Wouldn't a REAL woman be best matched to a
REAL man? Seems rather logical to me.

I also think that if the women of "REAL Women" can define who is real or
not, then men, too, should be free to express who they believe is a REAL
woman or not.

Seems to me this stereotyping of gender rolls is quite popular. So, when I
make a statement about what makes for a real man or not, I'm not acting out
of the norm. I'm merely taking advantage of a popular mind activity.

And how do you think I feel when I see an organization with the name "REAL
Women" and who've gone through much bother and trouble to define for us
what REAL Women are? I don't fit into much of the criteria they claim makes
for a REAL Woman. I guess that means I'm not a REAL woman. "REAL Women" is
an insult to women! ;-)

And you don't believe a real man can exist as an objective reality? Why?

I didn't offer him to you!

No need to take things so personally. It was not your man I was targetting
*specifically.*
