When I hear/read "man," whether meant as non-gender specific or not,
my experience has been that I do *not* feel included in that
group;  I can *understand* that someone meant the term to be
inclusive, even while *my* feelings and experience indicate that
it is not.  I would object to my and Carol's and I suspect others'
*experience* of this phenomena being labelled "wilful misreading",
but would prefer to have it viewed as a valid reading -- different
from your experience, but equally present.  I would argue that given
that women's experience in this society often is to be excluded,
whether explicitly or implicitly, our reading of "man" as exclusive
is as objectively "out there" as yours to read "man" inclusively.

My roommate and I named her after the mouse in Chez Helene, our

school that this program was not in English.)  I killed her because
she ran up my leg, inside my nightgown.  Is this sexual assault?
I didn't wait around to find out...I just killed her and threw her
in the dumpster.

And that's what I do to students who don't study...even if they
don't run up my leg.

It's definitely not a good idea.  I hope people were just joking about it.
Among other reasons, different lists have different personalities and
serve different purposes.  Obviously some of them appeal to some people
and not others.  But even the same people can enjoy being on both kinds
of lists.  I'm "owner" of two lists.  The other one is low-volume and
serious of purpose.  If it should start changing into a chit-chat list,
those of us who had the idea to start it would change it to a moderated
list immediately.  If a subscriber on the other list said something
disparaging about WORDS-L, I would be offended and would tell the person
so.  But if WORDS-L people started jumping onto the other list with
silly attacks, I would be *highly* annoyed.  I guess that's a round-about
way of saying that I find remarks like that of What's-His-Name on LITERARY
pompous and offensive, but I would be embarrassed at my association with
WORDS-L if WORDS-Lers sent mail to LITERARY saying so.

  School starts on the 8th of September. I live in Pasco county so we have a
longer summer and a shorter term this year, which is unusual because up `til
now we had long terms and short summers, but I'm not complaining.
Next year I will be a softmore, I am really excited. Last year wasn't too
exciting for me sence I was a freshman. Our school only has one floor, and I
had seniors trying to sell me elevator passes-so much for courtesy.  I have
a few senior friends that are eager to play tricks on the new freshman, and it
really burns me up, I hope I don't get devious.
  I was going to try out for volleyball sence it is my favorite sport, and I
would have fairly good chances because of my ability to return the ball, not
like any of my other friends.  But I think I am going to stick with just clubs
next year, I have a few friends that were in sports last year and their grades
really slipped so I decided to wait on that idea.
  I suppose I will go and get some sleep sence I have a dentist app. tomorrow.
I cna't wait until my teeth are strait enough to remove these railroad tracks.

and I can just feel my stomach beginning to churn in a way that
Moctezuma never knew....  Why is it...  I say, *why* is it that
a male buying a sports car signifies childishness?  Does anyone
ever say that a female is acting childish if she buys a sportscar?
And anyway, at 24 I bought a Sunbeam Alpine, at 36 an MGB no-top

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Anne Harwell, my friend, expressed the point of view that she
doesn't like it when men call themselves feminists.  Thereupon,
she got jumped on by two women, at least--my list-reading may
not be up to date. My response to this is: GIVE HER A BREAK!!!!

I sat through months of this on the Women's Studies list--as a
corollary to whether or not men should teach Women's Studies
courses.  I am quite sympathetic to this point of view, and
becoming more so the older and more experienced I get.  I no
believe self-declared feminists without because I've discovered
that a lot of them are clue-free.

This is a point of view that a lot of men and women share.
Many women feel that men should not be involved in feminism any
more than many African Americans feel that whites should be involved
in civil rights.  Both are very touchy situations, with a 'superior'
group involving itself in the matters of an 'inferior' group.

Karen
P.S. My friend Cole calls himself a feminist sympathizer. I like the
resonances!

Subject:      Bimbo

I looked up the word in my Unabridged ...found three definitions, kind
of interesting:  1....person....
                 2....man.......
                 3....woman.....

Doesn't seem that the order of explanation coincides with the order of
general interpretation.  I guess the often used term (blonde bimbo) must
be due to an illiterative effect ....haven't heard brunette bimbo.  My
first wife (blonde) definately was *not* a bimbo.  Don't think hair
color has anything to do with it ...

Don, has/have wife(s) with blonde, brunette and red hair.

                            Peace,
                                  Don
