you ladies have got to turn the feminism button down a notch..you guys make Xena the Warrior Princess look like Betty Crocker..why does everything with you ladies turn into ``if men can do it why can`t we`` please...get a grip..ali5000 made comments that could have just as easily been made to a man...

women and men are different..PERIOD..they have always been different, and will always BE different..Not superior or inferior in any way..but just different..What exactly do you women on chowk want? To be able to talk about sex as freely as men do? well there are plenty of women that do that..they are called sluts, and they lack the respect that men give you right now..This Ali5000 character treats you with respect and you guys jump all over him with your ``I`m a Women hear me roar`` rhetoric..

way to go..

Sir, do you see the dichotomy in what you verbalised?

and

[... well there are plenty of women that do that..they are called sluts, and they lack the respect that men give you right now..]


AND the `plenty` of men who do that are pimps or gigolos I suppose? And we can also label them as ....

(---shaking my head --- vertically and horizontally -- if you notice, hamidm!)

rgds (not so sure -- perhaps a force of habit or anal retentiveness?)

I am sorry to barge in like this, but Musharraf is in New York staying at the Roosevelt hotel. While he is here it is time to send him a message.

I am prepared to organize a protest against the infamous, immoral, discriminatory, and unIslamic Blasphemy law of Pakistan. As it is Applied, it is nothing more than a political insturment used for the harrassment of minorities.

One Military dictator introduced it as law, another should get rid of it.

I urge all likeminded people who live in the N.Y area to join with me within the next 48 hours. I have already spoken up against the Blasphemy law in Dawn: Letters to the Editor in the past, now its time to take action.

Please e-mail me immediately to join a coordinated protest. The moment is ripe to send a msg, while the eyes of the press are focused on New York & the U.N Millenium summit. The more people that participate, the better. If necessary, i will do it alone. I will respond immediately to all e-mails received with details.

Feel free to copy this msg, & fwd to anyone else in the N.Y area who might be interested, or repost on the web immediately.
