	They were NOT GIFS (dammit!!!). Those were ASCII's !!!

	no! we don't wanna do that......that would be stoopid. But hey,
	don't you think women should grow up too and get actively involved
	in subjects like sex, physical relationships etc instead of 
	maintaining the "hiding in the closet" attitude ? I read soc.penpals,
	soc.singles and even rec.humor....and there I see women actively
	participating in such (serious AND humorous) discussions without
	shying away (just cuz they are women !!!). They are discriminating
	themselves, dooode !!!

	Oh welll, this is NOT a generalization (about women) on my part. 
	Just an opinion. Think what you may want but I may be the last
	person on SCI who would want to "propagate" the concept of 
	offending women on SCI (tuff to believe if you look at *some*
	of my posts, cuz you only rememeber the bad ones, not the more
	serious and "nice" posts !!!).
